    I have what I think is a Kenya Tree. It has been doing great for the month I have had it in the tank. Then, today I woke up to it looking pasty and limp. Nothing has changed in the tank. Wondering if I should be worried. Sorry for the bad quality of the pics

    Mine seems to do that about once a month. In fact, it's been that way for the last two days. It always perks up though. I have no idea why it happens...

    Sometimes they do it randomly, sometimes its because something has changed with your water chemistry.
    Kenya's are very hardy, but are also great water quality indicators. Slightest change in chemistry and they will let you know.
    They are most sensitive to temp and PH, so keep an eye on those. If everything does check out, then I wouldn't worry too much.
