I saw small hydra in my tank

I saw small about 5mm long hydra in my planted shrimp tank. I search for previous thread (2003 thread) and read that H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) can be used to kill it without killing the shrimps.

Does anybody try this recently? Would like to confirm that it did not kill the shrimp.

Does anyone know if Albendazole can be used to kill hydra? I used Albendazole before to eradicate planaria without killing my cherry shrimps.

I'm curenly using twiser to pinch them one by one, hopefully I kill them

they'll die off after a period of time. just leave them alone

Good to hear that! Clean water and less food helps to make them go quicker.
