freshwater dip on crocea

[spoiledcats]

Does anyone have any experience doing a freshwater dip on a crocea for pinched mantle? Also, I've read that you should run carbon right away. Does the carbon help? Should I just run the carbon, and wait on doing the dip?

what makes you think its pinched mantle?
can you post a photo?

I have 2 croceas that opened fully the first day I got them but now they both somewhat open and still close tight whenever my fish swim by them. But I am dealing with high nitrates rt now. If you think yours has pinched mantles would love to see a pic so I can compare to mine.
