Hi Robert,
The best hydra remover I have tried is Panacur it is a worm drench for
horses, there are a few different strenth bottles you can get. I use 1ml to
100 litres of aquarium water with Panacur 100 which is 100grams of
fenbendazole to 1 litre. If you can only get Panacur 30 make it 3-4 ml per
100 litres. I have added it to a tank untill the fish start to get jumpy and
that was 9 times moere than I recomended here. Does make your tank go cloudy
for a couple of hours.
When I used to deshell my brineshimp eggs I never had a hydra problem, since
I stopped it seems to pop up everytime I have fry and have to hatch some
BBS. Do hydra lay eggs? If so do they attach the eggs to the brins shrimp
egg hoping to get an easy feed when the BBS emerges?
