death in the tank

[nodoubt471]

one of my feather dusters died recently. first he threw his crown, and then his tube became transparent and began shriveling up. ive had him for almost a year, its a very sad occasion.

everything in my tank checks out fine. nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia are all reading zero. nothing in my maintenance shedule has changed, and i havent added a new fish in about 3 months. does anybody konw the lifespan of a feather duster? i am very curious as to why he died, and worried about the fate of the other 3 that are in there.

Well, sometimes its natural for things to die without any apparent reason.

Sorry for your loss

I have no idea what the lifespan of a feather duster is.. I think you did a pretty good job keeping it for a year though.

Here's an article I found that might give some clues : Advanced Aquarist
