I have 3 feather dusters, located in close proximity in the tank. Two have been in the tank for about 5 months, and the other for about 8. They all seem to have their crowns open a lot. Over the last few weeks I've noticed that the one that I've had the longest, the feather crown is getting smaller. Where the feathers were once maybe 2" long, they are now about an inch. Haven't noticed this with the other two. Nor have I noticed anything bothering this one.
I had a 4th that died about a month ago. Had had it for a few months, all was going well, then it tossed its crown, started growing a new one, but then up and died.
I thought FD's were one of the easiest things to keep! They are the only things I'm having trouble with. I squirt in some phytoplex 2-3x/wk. Parms ok (1.022, am=0, nitrite=0, nitrate=15, temp=75)
Thoughts?
