Dying Duncan

saltyMJ · Aug 23, 2023

Duncan was doing great. Had recently grown two new heads that were starting to get bigger. Then we had a temperature spike in the 90's for a few dayswhile we were on vacation. It's been over a month since then and he has never come back. The two smaller new heads have died off. Is there any hope for him?

I'd just leave it and see what happens

worst results it dies, best results it bounces back

good luck!

Assure you provide moderate water flow and light. They withdraw under too much light and flow. Feed mysis shrimp for best growth and also assure Phos level Not elevated. Mine looked like this when I got them and Now:
