Arnos Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Ok cheers so how do I get rid of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony-tail Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 First of all ! Hydra are not caused by over feeding - they are introduced to a tank as a contaminant on Plants , rocks , substrate , even in bags of fish I have bought at auction . Overfeeding can cause a bloom but they have to be there in the first place . Next as to getting rid of them - that is easy , A product available from Tech den called Benibachi Planaria Zero 20g will do it quickly . It is however not cheap .

pony-tail Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I recommended the Planaria Zero because I used it myself and it worked with no collateral damage even the MTS survived ( bugger) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
