Is my Kenya Tree dying

Ivndx · Mar 25, 2026

So, my Kenya tree was doing absolutely fine, but around two days ago it got all sad and pale out of nowhere, however the branch it left behind a few weeks ago is doing just fine, phosphates are around 0.03 the only thing might be my temps (21 C / 72 F ish)

Offer moderate light and medium flow as these are very hardy

Could be very typical behavior-- I wouldn't be surprised if in a few more days it's back looking bigger and better than ever. (This is assuming you had no major lighting or water parameter shifts

.)

Welcome!

Do you have any fish that may be snacking on it? If they get irritated enough they’ll close up that way. If it’s stays like that for week+ it’ll keep shrinking until it disappears. I don’t see the skin peeling which indicates it’s irritated especially if there’s another in the tank doing well.
