I've done it to a squamosa a few times over the years always worked like a charm if things didn't seem right, about 15 mins I think I did, google freshwater dipping clams lots of people do it usually for pinched mantle issues but I thought my clam was gonna die more than once and it saved it, better than tossing in the trash in a few days but that's upto you

Actually 30 mins is what they recommend

OK...I fresh water dipped it for 30 minutes. Will look first thing in the morning to how it's doing.
I figured I've got nothing to loose at this point.

Freshwater dips are fine and recommended for pinched mantle. I've done this quite a few times over the years, I toss it in some RO water for 30 minutes. Saved most that way.

Give it a few days to start recovering but hopefully it works out.

I should google things before opening my big mouth
