ducky Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Noticed some hydras growing in my planted tank this afternoon. I currently only have plants and the odd snail in this tank but am being graciously gifted some juvie guppys, R.C.S. and bristlenose from peterw. question is, will these tiny jelly fish like organisms harm the soon to be new editions?

Daydream Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Depends on size of juvies this stuff has the ability to wipe out whole spawns.have seen it eat up to 5mm fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Well that sounds serious. Was that a colony of Hydra or just a single developed one? I can see 4 of them and the largest is 2mm. I've seen a few options of removing them, salt, a few commercial products. Can anybody recommend there preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Internal parasite clear is the best option but cant find any locally but no planaria will also work salt not to good for plants .they will multipiy rapidly esp with over feeding.

Hellboy Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Can use a couple of drops of panacur 25 if u can get some of somebody as there isn't much point in buying a litre if its one tank. just a suggestion. I would give you some if your out this way. Any time soon. Just pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
