Kenya tree is dead?

I've had a large Kenya tree for @2 years. After cleaning the tank a few days ago (13 gallon Nano) the tree has not opened up again and is purple. I have other trees in the tank that look great. Could its lifespan be over?

 

it could just be aggravated?? i dunno i would just wait and see.

 

Could it be dropping it's branches? I've read they will droop over and drop branches. Also is it's stump brown on the bottom?

 

The stump is brown, thats why I'm worried its dead.

 

Hmmmm. Looks like it just a little stressed to me. I don't know what to think about the coloration of the stump, but the rest of it looks OK. Not great. But OK. Mine goes though phases like this when it gets mad.

 

I would just watch the stump. If it keeps looking worse perhaps you should frag it? I'm not an expert so someone with more experience would be better suited to advise on that.

 

If it was dead it would be like "melting" away. Let it sit for a few more days and see what happens.

 

Yeah....I forgot about that. Like Xenia, they melt away to nothing when they expire......

 

Thanks so much! Crossing my fingers it pulls through. You guys are the best! This is my 1st day on this site. I really appreciate your advice and expertise. Karma added! ;D

 

if it dies you can HAVE mine...please take it!!! the weed is starting to frag itself...bump!
