Re: [Killietalk] hydra
Bet you're feeding your fish some BBS. Every time I feed my fish for
longer than a month on BBS, I end up with hydra. Joe Scanlan MD

Subject: [Killietalk] hydra
well it finally happened, I have hydra. I havn't found any in my killie
fry or breeder tanks but in a 65 gallon planted community tank with
rainbows, aplocheilus lineatus, congo tetras, bolivian rams, pearl
gourami's, corydoras, bristlenose pleco's, rasboras and nerite snails.
My tank is setup a little different with 2/3 of the tank covered in sand
and planted (before I knew sand wasn't a good plant substrate) and the
other 1/3 with gravel and a makeshift platform/shelf made of patio stones
glued together so there is about a 1foot/1foot shelf supported 3" off the
surface. I found the hydra when I had a flashlight looking at something
else under the shelf. I can't find any hydra anywhere but under there in
the dark so they either don't like the light or something is keeping them
under control everywhere else. I've read pearl gourami's may eat them so
this might account for the small area infected or they just havn't been in
there long enough to overpopulate the tank. I!
don't
have enough flubendazole to dose the tank and most forms of eratication
involve emptying the tank which is out of the question. Anyone have any
good cures for my condition? I found a mention of fluketabs being a
possible cure but wanted to see what you guys think. thanks, Kyle
Osterholt in Oklahoma
