Kenya tree shrinking

[Galasss]

Purchased a kenya tree 4 days ago, opened up nicely the first and 2 days but started to get smaller yesterday and now it’s not even 1/4 of its original size and leaning to a side. Any advice? I really appreciate it. All parameters have been stable (nitrate 10-15, ammonia/nitrite 0) ph 8.2 temp 87

Is that temp correct or a typo, if it's 87 I would probably drop that. What are the rest of your perameters like?

ops sorry 77

I know other softies shed so is it normal for Kenya trees to deflate like this?

They will do this under low light and when salinity too high
Moderate light and water flow at mid tank and a little nitrate and iron in the water.

Interesting, do you suggest moving it a bit higher up in the tank? It’s getting the proper amount of flow where it is and I’m running a hipagero aquaknight so imagined it was getting enough light. Thanks for your advice!

Give it a day or two before moving
