Yuma problem

[maxheadroom]

I was given a pink yuma that wasn't attached to anything. I've had no problem gluing rics before, so I tried that. Worked for an hour. Tried again. Same thing. I tried putting it in a piece of wedding veil with a rock. It curled up and wasn't attaching after a few days so I took it out of the veil to check it. When I flipped it over, I noticed a hole going through from the bottom to the mouth (kinda like a donut). Is it going to/ already dead? water params are:

Ph 8.2
Amm 0
Trites 0
trates 5
sg 1.024
calcium 400

I'd say yes, it is dying. 99% chance of death. I see it all the time at my lfs when they get in new mushrooms. The mushrooms will start to open up and they form a hole straight through the mouth/foot forming a doughnut and dissolve away. In this case it would not be anything remotely close to splitting.

its still in my frag rack and it hasn't disolved. Its kind of folded up like a taco. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

Sorry to hear that the Yuma was on a walk about. Usually the hole through the center through the pedal disc means that it is probably on its last leg. It will take a few days and it will probably start dissolving away. I am not 100% sure of that by from experience that is the case.
Sorry for the bad news.

By the way what is you dKH and Mg?

It's still hanging in there! Hopefully it'll pull through!
