Default My Frogspawn.... wassup??

Well I have had this frogspawn for about 4 months now and over that time I have moved from a 12g to a 24g.

Have any of you had a frogspawn that lost most of his arms/tenacles? When I got this 4 months ago it had nice long & flowing tenacles - it was very large. Now, they are short. They are not just shrunk, they are short & it is very small. There are 5 heads and 4 of the 5 heads are splitting.

I guess I am wondering why it has changed so much. I dont think that it is due to the splitting, but Maybe? To help, I have recently decreased the flow for it and its 3/4 or 2/3 the way up to the lights. My tank is a 24g nano with 2 CF/PC. One is a straight 10K and the other is a 10/actinic. My params are stable & I change 10-15% water every week.

Is it splitting? the fact that its a newer tank? lighting / flow?

I feed the tank every day. I am using appropriate amounts of Phyto/Oyster/Roti feast. Since its arms are so small feeding brine is impossible. If it were truly unhealthy 4/5 heads would not be splitting/growing...

I am using SeaChem (purple) salt & the water is distilled RO water from wally.

any ideas?

what does everyone else feed their FS?

PICS:

Initially: Large & Flowing

Now: Small & the mouths are visible.
