Help! Hydra!
I've never had trouble with hydra before. So where do they first crop
up? In my 2.5g shrimp tank, with a female holding eggs! *mutter* They must have come in on some plants I grabbed from outside. I'd prefer not to move the shrimp. They're red cherry shrimp and very sensitive to changes in water conditions. That means no copper or fluke-tabs for the time being. Putting a Hydra eater in the tank temporarily seems ideal, but I'm afraid a Trichogaster spp. gourami would eat the shrimp right along with the Hydra. I read on the Krib that mystery snails will eat Hydra. Does anyone have any experience that agrees? Are mystery snails likely to leave baby shrimp alone? Are there any other small, mild-mannered hydra eating creatures? -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com
