Yuma needs help

[Maxstar81]

They are gaping ....

Started yesterday.

Today just got worse.

Any remedies!?

HELP !!!

[zephyros]

sad to say, no proven remedy

but u can always try the ultimate remedy, water change

[Maxstar81]

Wa lao a.

Just change on Sun.

Must do again ah.

Ok, will do it tonight.

Is it hungry ?

I put softy food in but not target feed.

I don't feed them prawn meat either.

But the get loads of light. See my algae

can tell liao.

for the advice!

[Panzz]

how long has this been going on? has this ever happen before? and how long have you gotten this yuma. cos could be expelling waste you noe cos then got nothing to worry about already

[zephyros]

As Panzz said, if it is open for a while den no prob. but if it is opened

for a few days without closing, den sure sign of stress. the thing with

yuma is that it can be doing well for weeks and even mnths and den

1 day, it will open mouth and melt away.

what u can try other than change water is change location

such as less/more light and/or less/more flow etc

[Maxstar81]

1 shut its gap after a while.

1 almost melted. (my 2nd fav. )

1 half open half close.

I think the stress is from me topping up water every evening.

My tank loses 1.5-1.8L a day due to my fan.

I just pour the water in & salinity lowers suddenly.

I do not have auto top up and my DIY dripper failed.

I cannot find a small plastic value to control flow.

The metal ones will rust.

Anybody have the plastic value or know where i can get it?

1 more thing. Pharmacies do not sell dripping device.

Some reefer stated in a reply somewhere & made me run

around looking to no avail.

They are stress out..try putting them away from strong light a while and do nt stress it by moving it around often

[zephyros]

freshwater fish shop oso got sell the green plastic "tap".

I had a spare at home (punggol 21) if u need it urgently.

As for shifting the yuma, what I meant is to shift and monitor for a while

like a week or so. my death rate for yuma when they gap is 100%

that's y i stop yuma already

[cityofangels]

I had a nice yuma and it started gaping like yours. It died within a few days. No more yumas for me...

So be prepared for the worse.

[wil_lee76]

Me too...still havent found a right solution to these..hope for the best pal!

[flying carpet]

When they are in that stage just prepare yourself for the worst.

[Maxstar81]

1 up lorry.

Just got it out & into the chute.

Ok, next .. . . .

[nakazoru]

I think at this instance, it is best that whatever left, let someone adopt for you first. Otherwise sure all up lorry one.

I left one month and I check all the corals, wah pianz, they doing really well man... My wife only top up kalkwasser... Except glass and sand damn dirty man....

The Giono nearly occupying 1/4 of my tank.

[Panzz]

agree with letting someone adopt you yuma first if it goes on like this there is always the possibility of losing all of them ya noe? so by the way has this been happening for a long time already ( for all you three yuma that is)?
