What cause hydra to breed .

[armourshrimp36]

Does over feeding cause hydra to breed in tank? I got about 20 over in my shrimp tank. I use a card to scrap them off,then use fish net to scoop them out,but after few days,i will see new one. Pls help.

If you overfeed the tank and other prey animals like seed shrimps appear, the Hydra will reproduce within that tank. Remove your shrimps just to be safe and dose the tank with No-Planaria, or if you can find this drug - fenbendazole. Be careful with dosage. You might want to read this thread:

Have heard from a number of bros saying....
No planaria is very effective for hydra...

No Planaria 100% works for hydra. I've done it for my own tank, and 3 other bros here..

Have try fenbendazole before and just a reminder that those plant that bought from lfs, inside those container tub or have been tie to rocks sponge. Becareful there is alot of snail white worms and hydra infested. I got hydra from this plant I bought.
using fenbendozol do not dose more than 0.2 grams. If you need I still have 2 packets of 1grams.

so no side effect for my berried mama crs if i use it?

You mean Fenbendozol, the actual brand is cal 8in1 canine dog dewormer, one of my berried mama drop eggs but do not know whether is it due to the dosage I put. I put 0.3 gram in three day, how I do it:

1st day 0.1 grams
2nd day 0.1 grams after 24 hour
3nd day 0.1 grams after 24 hour

I Never do any water change.

But at that point of time my TDS is low and I think my CRS have the symptom of stress, but do not know the cause.
Have search around in the web some have use it with success.
