How I GET RID of these tiny, pesky PREDATORS! ????(Save your fry and shrimplets)

IF YOU NOTICE THESE in your freshwater tanks, KILL them at once! ????

They look like cute, miniature soft corals or anemones but they’re considered pests. A Hydra is a soft-bodied freshwater polyp that is sometimes accidentally introduced to freshwater aquariums. They are ambush hunters that will target your fish fry and shrimplets.

When you squish or scrape them, they’ll only multiply. WATCH THE VIDEO and know HOW To GET RID OF THEM effectively.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
????????Based on my experience, I no longer need to repeat the dosing on the second day. Hydras are usually gone the next day.

???????? Be careful when using a dog dewormer (or any form of chemicals not originally intended for aquariums), especially when the tank is already stocked with animals. I was lucky to have spotted the hydras days before releasing the commissioned aquascape to the client.

????????The dewormer I use doesn’t harm any of my shrimps and fish, but I find it can kill some snails like my nerite snails and some ramshorns. ????

???????? A very small amount of dewormer diluted in tank water works for me. Don’t overdo it to avoid any possibilities of messing with your water quality and parameters. #hydra #theindoorwetlands ????????
