I have attached a few pics below and in two other posts immediately following this one..
I have had this capnella almost 2 years and two days ago it was looking GREAT and yesterday afternoon it started lookin a little frail and today even a little more frail. Water parameters are all good and nothing has changed in 48 hours.
Please take a look at the pics and tell me what you think.. It is the one in the back...

First of all, your kenya tree is beautiful! Mine is not as white and much thicker. :rolleyes:
Sometimes mine move around (90 degrees or so) and they're ok later. It doesnt really make sense, because the one next to it is fine... All I can think of is that somethings been irritating it, or maybe the one next to it is blocking some light or something? Are you feeding it?
Good luck!

It's either the water or the light. I had two beautiful colts under PC lighting for years, came home one day to find both slumped way over, turns out I had missed a 9 month bulb change which had no visible affect up to the 12th month. Changed the bulbs and they were back the next day. They must have been gradually starving and finally just gave up the fight.
I guess I shouldn't say with no visible affect, they had swollen/stretched up which I had mistaken for growth and was just their way of getting more exposure to the light.
