Pinched mantle & freshwater dip

[Doug]

I will take some pics Mark.

I checked out Barry,s forum, when dealing with my maxima but not recently. Perhaps I will do so again. The info on freshwater baths, came from some RC threads I read last night. They seem to agree with what Tony said but it still gives me the heebi-jeebies.

However, if I have to watch it go down hill like the maxima, I will be totally peed. Just seems such a shame that healthy growing clams, develop something like that out of the blue, unless its related to the last incident as mentioned. Crap, even that was a couple months ago though. You would figure the disease would show before then, if it remains in the tank.

I,ve looked as close as possible, without removal, for other irritants but none to be seen. Luckily the worst one is attached to rubble, so it can be removed but if the larger has the same problem, its attached to a huge flat rock as seen in the TOTM pics.
