none as far as i know.. onli certain fish eats hydra
Hi Bro,
I would like to know anybody know what snail can get rid of hydra? One of my CRS tank got hydra so i need to buy some snail to clear them. Please advise if you try before cause i don't want the snail to out break my tank later without getting rid of hydra.

Root cause for hydra maybe is over feed.

i used to use fenbendazole dewormer powder to treat for hydra... but i dun have shrimps in my tank.. heard it is shrimp safe.. the shrimps dont like the hydra because they stings upon contact..
fenbendazole anybody use it with shrimp? Is it ok to use? But ammonia will shot up high cos lot of pest will die.so very risky.I dare not try .....is there no snail or easier way to get rid of them?

nothing
1) chemical warfare this will leave residue so use at risk.
2) Snails (wild apple snails i gave 2 to a bro to try i personal try than no use although in some website they claim they were successful using them)
3) No puffer will go near them.
4) You can try gourami (but you need to clear tank
5) guppies fries but they will go for you shrimp 1st
My own way remove all shrimp shut down filter system. Let the tank be in stay in room temp whole tank clear of hydra after near to 2 weeks. But i found out this cause i remove the soil wash and dry under sun. I reuse it in a small setup and after a month they appear which make me rack my brain where they come from no adding of stuff from lfs. My own conclusion their eggs or whatever can stay in the soil dry for that long... a months plus.
It is just for references
hydra is difficult to be rid off..one way is either use fenbendazole aka dog dewormer/ in pill forms for humans.(chemical warfare) with little or no livestock in there. secondly,you can remove your water into a pail and let it continue running to prevent BBs from dying then use boiling water to rinse your soil once, they probably be cooked..(best way to rid of any pest)..of course you don't simply pour boiling water into the tank, might have adverse effects for the tank.
Or one last way is to set up a partition then transfer your shrimps to the other half of the tank,leave the other side to the guppies(real hungry ones).after that switch sides when you think that half is cleared of them..will probably take some time to see results

I have 1 galaxy fish in my 2ft tank to help clear hydra. There are lots of moss and hiding places for my shrimplets so most of them can avoid the galaxy should it decide to attack them
no i try not to use fish.it will be hard to catch the fish after that.Also i have lot of baby shrimps.

u can set trap. i also have alot of white worm in my shrimp tank. yst just DIY a white worm trap. everything seems to go on well. just over the night i caught quite alot. as you can see from the pictures below.
trap is created using OHF's pipe, connector and a thin layer of filter wool. the filter wool is to prevent shrimplet from entering. at the same time, it will delay the white worm from getting out.

Traps do not work for Hydra as these animals pretty much stay rooted where they are. The only solution is to use a commercial de-wormer product like fenbendazole, which has been mentioned earlier in this thread. There is no snail available that will eat these stinging animals. If you fear the effects on your shrimp then catch them out otherwise short of using the chemicals mentioned, only fish like gourami will feed on these Hydra.
