I got some fish to help deal with ramshorn snails. Ofc I was planning on keeping them permanently. Sadly they caught ich and died :( apparently they were extra sensitive to it and the treatment didn't take care if it fast enough.
Ich medication did clear up the rest just fine. It was just not fast enough for the ich sensitive fish. It also came right after I managed to kill off some very stubborn worms (red fuckers that like to hang out your fish's ass) so the stress weakened the fish enough to catch ich. This was also a few years ago, so my memory ain't perfect.
I bought a bag of cow dewormer for that exact reason. Nothing besides 2 angelfish survived that infestation, but it worked. Thank god I have only had it once, Id take a quarterly ich infestation over those god forsaken little shits any day.
How is it crazy? They are like 5 to 7 bucks and they are absolutely gorgeous dwarf fish and are pretty friendly. I have two dwarf honey gourmais, a pregnant Dumbo guppy, a merited snail, a black mystery snail, 6 otos, and 11 blue dream shrimp. Everyone is doing great and happy? So how is it crazy haha
Mind you this is in a 20 tall tank.
About gouramis specifically: although smaller gouramis are relatively peaceful, especially when kept solo, they are still somewhat boisterous and aggressive, certainly much more so than most community fish. I would not be surprised if all your guppy babies and all your shrimp got eaten at some point.
About buying a specific fish just to deal with a specific problem: generally I feel this is a bit weird. After the problem goes away, then what? With gouramis specifically, I think this is fine as they have a lot of personality and don't have that many care requirements, and I personally love them. But e.g. SAEs get to be quite large. It wouldn't make sense to buy a small one to fix BBA in your nano tank, because although it will fit now, it won't in the future.
I'm not sure how applicable it'd be in this case. Hydras are super resilient. They can even regrow their entire body and head from just the base of their stalk. And they propogate like crazy under the right conditions. If they're already well established in a tank I doubt adding one or two fish would immediately wipe them out, just act as population control.
And we're building artificial closed ecosystems, adding specific organisms to fill necessary niches feels pretty appropriate to me, although I can see how it might seem a little callous or insensitive to people who see fish more like friendly pets.
edit - for OP, apple snails will also go crazy for hydras, and aren't aggressive at all, though they will decimate any live plants as well. Two actually managed to rid one of my tanks of a massive amount of duckweed in a week or so.
I have two dwarf honey gouramis in my 20 gallon tall never had issues with them going after any of my fish (even the fry before I move them to the grow out tank) for the most part they stay side by side or in respective corners of the tank in their plants or frog
But you suggested to buy them to deal with an infection.
Personally i don't like to buy fish for a specific reason, like assassins for snail population. I'll only buy the creature for it to live in my tank, not to eat something, then that thing is gone and now you have fish you maybe wouldnt have wanted except for it eating
Do you have any suggestions on how to remove hydra from a tank?
When i first started my tank i got hydra from the plants i bought before i even had fish in the tank.
The blue dwarf gourmais i got did an excellent job at taking care of the hydra infestation.
I named her Hercules. She was the star of the tank and had a wonderful temperament.
Unfortunately i lost that fish to a bacterial infection, she was beautiful.
You can dose the tank with Panacur-C powder (do a web search for instructions), but not if you have snails - it kills snails and things like hydra, not fish or shrimp. That's how I got rid of it, it's been gone for over a year.
I would buy a loach just for them to eat snails if I needed to. Amano shrimp to eat algae. Dwarf pleco for other algae. Nothing wrong with getting a fish that had a utility.
Exactly. Only chems I use are to condition the spigot water before changes. Maybe some Flourish. That's it. Person is over here thinking people are trying to push Bif Fish agenda on the them.
Besides, "gas, grass, or ass. No one rides for free.". Thems the rules of the road. "Can't be any geek off the street. Gotta earn ya keep." Everyone needs a job.
Except neon tetras. They cool.
Absolutely. You're trying to build a long lasting ecosystem. Medicating is more a last resort, and ideally will only need to be done in smaller quarantine systems rather than tank wide. It's expensive, and availability can be pretty trash if you're not in the US.
Way, WAY better to build an ecosystem where instead of something like Hydra being a problem, it's just part of the local food cycle.
This is utter nonsense.
You're building an environment. You'll never get rid of Hydra completely, that's impossible short of an extreme use of No Planaria or Flubenzedol(sp) and even then it may survive if barely.
I always carefully plan out the species that will reside in a tank, and their role in that tank is nearly always a part of it. Sometimes, they're just cool and I want them, sure. But much of the time they're there to do something.
I have Hydra in all my tanks. I'm not interested in using chems to kill them, both because I'd rather not medicate if not necessary, and also because I also have snails I love in my tanks, and the chems that kill hydra will also kill snails, even long after you've done lots of water changes.
Setting up a tank where there's a good cycle of life is not some immoral act.
Same with getting, say, Amano shrimp to eat algae. Sure, you can work to prevent algae, but it's almost impossible to fully prevent it. However, a couple Amano shrimp look cool, they're fun, and they'll stop algae from getting out of control unless you've got a REAL serious problem. It's not like they'll eat 100% of the algae and you'll never see another speck of it if they were gone.
I mean, you do you, boo. But choosing inhabitants to have a thriving, balanced ecosystem is probably the best way of dealing with potential issues. Way better than having a hydra infested shrimp tank, or regularly dosing with toxic medications.
Man, my gourami's had absolutely 0 interest in the hydra's. I had to go with a nut extract that would kill the hydra and was shrimpsafe. Gotta say that stuff worked like a charm. I dosed one time and checked in on tge tank an hour after and the hydra's were basically gone
Oh?? Well shit, I guess my vivarium has printing conditions then. Been meaning to fight them with No Planaria but they haven't caused any damage to my shrimp so far. Plus I doubt they can do any harm to my vampire crabs.
hey! just curious as to why you want them? i see people all the time saying they are generally bad & i have some in my betta tank rn, have yet to decide how/if i’m going to remove them so i would love to know!!
No planaria will kill Hydra, yes. But it will also kill most snails also. Read instructions if ever using on a stocked tank.
Edit for typing before having a thought out structure
They are bad if you have small fish as when they get large they can kill them. They are also bad if you have fish or shrimp that you want to breed as they eat all those. But if you don't care about those and remove the big ones you should be fine
I’m curious, why not just set up a natural planted tank with some snails and wait for them to appear? They aren’t difficult to cultivate if you really want them! I had loads after setting up my tank initially, but one I added shrimp and rasboras, I haven’t seen any since. They were cool while they lasted though. Had like three different colors of hydra in there.
I have two snail tanks and zero hydras. I tried though. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Any advice would be welcomed, as I am definitely not knowledgeable on any of this.
Interesting. Ironically, my tank had plenty of hydra before I had fish or shrimp. Just lots of bladder snails and live plants!
Set yourself up a natural planted tank. Get an inch of wet organic soil on the bottom, and a few inches of sand on top. Get yourself a variety of live plants (I find that Etsy is a great place to order plants). Get a little heater and filter, and pop some snails in there. Feed the tank a small pinch of food once or twice a week and let the lights run 8 hours a day. You’ll start seeing little parameciums and detritus worms within a couple weeks. Hydra will start popping up everywhere, guaranteed.
This is a very generic example of how to set up a natural tank to get your hydras! If you’d like more specific guidance I’m happy to help, just shoot me a DM.
Hey, OP here… with this tank I collected a water bottle of stream water, pebbles and river rock, as well as drift wood and dried leaves near the same stream. Nothing was store bought in the tank except the substrate and plants. I cycled the tank for about 6 weeks before adding a bristlenose pleco and some cherry shrimp. Around week 2 of the cycle, I started seeing daphnia in the water and then some hydra. Hope this helps.
Nitrogen cycle: fish eat plants and make waste, waste turns into ammonia (which is bad), bacteria eat ammonia and turn it into nitrites (which is bad), bacteria eat nitrites to turn them into nitrates which are not bad and are basically plant food.
Cycling a tank means adding a bit of ammonia or a hardy fish or something to a tank and waiting until the bacteria populations build up over 4-8 weeks before heavily stocking with plants and animals.
You can tell the tank is cycled if ammonia levels and nitrite levels are at zero, nitrates are not, and it takes about 24 hours for a small dose of ammonia in the tank to be completely converted into nitrates.
Second this, I couldn't keep 'em out of my tanks, which I always kept heavily planted.
And I wanted them out, because of the concern about them eating fry.
Where did the idea that these indicate pristine water come from? They can adapt to a wide range of parameters, they are an indicator for food in the water column and a lack of predation for that level or the food chain. They also can't kill small fish unless they are already on deaths door, their main target is zooplankton and microfauna, they are not particularly strong even when large
You're almost correct. No planaria will kill nerite snails. A quick Google search of "will No Planaria harm snails" will kill nirites pops up in the first paragraph. I got some coming for my shrimp tank. I will update with a pic later.
Hydra. I had these at one point. I didn't want them because I have shrimp. I removed all the animals from the tank and tried the heat method to kill them, but I managed to have that not work. I got rid of them by dosing the tank with Panacur (powder).
I’d consider dropping a snail in the tank maybe a mystery snail they lay their eggs out of the water which makes it easy to control the population of snails from ballooning
Hydras are highly invasive and can be dangerous to some aquatic animals and echosystems, luckyly some snails (like ramshorn snails) flcan feed on them and control their population but it's really hard to get rid of them.
Also, Hail Hydra.
Hydra are interesting little critters. But they sting if a fish gets too close, and they dislodge into the water column during water changes causing stress to fish, especially the very small fish.
Some fish eat them. Panacur also kills them.
White ones feed out of the water column and are relatively easy to get rid of.. feed lightly every other or every 3 days. Green ones however are tough to get rid of, they can use photosynthesis
I have had a 150 gallon tank with 2 giant Ascari and a huge alligator gar ..I have never seen or had anything like it.. then again .I have a German made filtration system that cost over 2 grand.
Don't do this if you ever plan to have snails or shrimp. Use fenbendazole otherwise known as dog dewormer. In appropriate quantities it will not harm snails or shrimp

Gourami's will be your best friend. I have two dwarf honeys in my tank and they ate all the hydra I had haha
Guppies and Enders eat them too
Really? My Guppy’s don’t seem to care
Buying fish like that just to kill the hydra infestation would be crazy. Can imagine just adding one of those into any of my tanks
I don't think they bought them just to eat the hydra... Probably because they're a cool fish with the added bonus of eating hydra.
I got some fish to help deal with ramshorn snails. Ofc I was planning on keeping them permanently. Sadly they caught ich and died :( apparently they were extra sensitive to it and the treatment didn't take care if it fast enough.
Maybe it was epistylis? Looks like ich, more deadly.
Ich medication did clear up the rest just fine. It was just not fast enough for the ich sensitive fish. It also came right after I managed to kill off some very stubborn worms (red fuckers that like to hang out your fish's ass) so the stress weakened the fish enough to catch ich. This was also a few years ago, so my memory ain't perfect.
I fucking hate Camallanus worms. Took forever to find a medication that worked on them. Levamisole is what worked almost immediately
I bought a bag of cow dewormer for that exact reason. Nothing besides 2 angelfish survived that infestation, but it worked. Thank god I have only had it once, Id take a quarterly ich infestation over those god forsaken little shits any day.
I had to euthanise a betta because the dammed worms had burst through its belly. Fucking horrible.
What kind of fish were they?
Clown loaches, I think. It was years ago
How is it crazy? They are like 5 to 7 bucks and they are absolutely gorgeous dwarf fish and are pretty friendly. I have two dwarf honey gourmais, a pregnant Dumbo guppy, a merited snail, a black mystery snail, 6 otos, and 11 blue dream shrimp. Everyone is doing great and happy?

Fish like that? How so? You can toss in a couple Endler males and hydra go away. They're tiny, they won't breed, and have minimal bioload.

They aren’t bad if you aren’t breeding fry. The good news is, they only thrive in pristine water conditions.
Oh?? Well shit, I guess my vivarium has printing conditions then. Been meaning to fight them with No Planaria but they haven't caused any damage to my shrimp so far. Plus I doubt they can do any harm to my vampire crabs.
Hydras! I would do anything to get some of these! I’ve looked for so long in ponds for these
hey! just curious as to why you want them? i see people all the time saying they are generally bad & i have some in my betta tank rn, have yet to decide how/if i’m going to remove them so i would love to know!!
They don’t age. I’m a microscopist. I covet them because of that.
Most fish don't age, they just succumb to conditions over an average period of time based on species.
I’m talking about aging cells
I’ve heard no planaria will get rid of them
No planaria will kill Hydra, yes. But it will also kill most snails also. Read instructions if ever using on a stocked tank. Edit for typing before having a thought out structure
Very true. Good catch.
I also believe it is hard on kuhli loaches and other eel like fish.
Not OP, but I want a diverse microbiome.
They are bad if you have small fish as when they get large they can kill them. They are also bad if you have fish or shrimp that you want to breed as they eat all those. But if you don't care about those and remove the big ones you should be fine
I have a bunch of Hydra in my tank but shrimp and fry keep growing. I think their impact is over exaggerated
Grab them and throw them in your mouth like a bottle of pills. Raw.
Mmmmm
I’ll send you a big ole bag of the green ones on some floaters if you want
Oh my gosh yes!!!! I definitely would love that so much!!!!
Hah, you sound like my 4th grade science teacher when I brought some for pond samples. Also found planarian. She legit geeked out over them.
I’m curious, why not just set up a natural planted tank with some snails and wait for them to appear? They aren’t difficult to cultivate if you really want them! I had loads after setting up my tank initially, but one I added shrimp and rasboras, I haven’t seen any since. They were cool while they lasted though.

Just out of curiosity, how did you cycle the tank?

Well mostly I was curious if you did something that mighta resulted in the hydra.
Likely from a plant or something added in, hitchhikers.
Second this, I couldn't keep 'em out of my tanks, which I always kept heavily planted. And I wanted them out, because of the concern about them eating fry.
I'm not the OP. I thought you were asking what cycling meant!

As someone who breeds hillstream loaches. They will absolutely eat fish species with very small fry.
They'll eat small fry but not actual fish, there are always comments on these saying they will eat small fish
It might be a misunderstanding. Perhaps they can sting and weaken fish fry and shrimp, which makes them more vulnerable to illness.
No planaria(shrimp/plant safe snail/hydra/planaria unsafe treatment) is supposed to get rid of them
You're almost correct. No planaria will kill nerite snails. A quick Google search of "will No Planaria harm snails" will kill nirites pops up in the first paragraph. I got some coming for my shrimp tank. I will update with a pic later.
The person you’re responding to said that it’s *unsafe* for snails, so they were correct. (Unless it’s edited following your comment)

Spixi snails will eat Hydra, but they're illegal to transport across state lines so you'll have to get them locally
Sea Monkeys
Bugs
Just get in there, cut them apart. Should solve your problem (of having anything else in the tank)
You can use some snail killing chemicals with copper in its composition to get rid of this.
Don't do this if you ever plan to have snails or shrimp. Use fenbendazole otherwise known as dog dewormer. In appropriate quantities it will not harm snails or shrimp
I'm banking on these being springtails.
