F15hguy Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 have just noticed a few hydra beginning to grow in my breeding tank :facepalm: I know there is a surefire method to kill these off without doing anything to drastic but I can't for the life of me remember what it is...

Sophia Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 If you have somewhere to hide the fry you can put a bigger fish in there to eat them. I also can't remember which chemical it is that kills them, but it was discussed in here somewhere last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Copper kills them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 ime coppe rcan be annoying, the chemical that kills them is fenbendizole, a cattle wormer, you might see my other post asking for it. the fish that munches it is your regular gourami, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 any fish that are small enough to notice it will eat it, of that I am sure. of course someone will no doubt prove me wrong but little fish eat the little bugs like that and planaria etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 but hydra tend to eat little fish, hence problem being in breeding tank, I think its annoying my otos as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I don't mean little like fry, I mean little like a rasbora or a tetra etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Need a krib to sort them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I had them in my original bugs tank and I busted them off with my finger too they didn't eat me, I lived to tell the tale and I can't remember if they came back, maybe one did.
