[APD] Re: Hydra

[Diane Brown <debunix at well_com>]

A little flubendazole will get rid of the hydra but not your plants, 
fish, or ordinary hardy snails.

I used 25mg of 5% flubendazole powder for 12G tanks and 100mg for 29G 
tanks and all hydra vanished over about 4 days--first drawing in their 
tentacles and not moving--and 5 days and a water change after adding 
the flubendazole--disappearing completely.  One tank required a 
doubling of that dose.  A search of the archives will give alternate 
dosing regimens.

My fish, plants, MTS, ramshorn snails, and amano shrimp and cherry 
shrimp were not affected, and neither were the pond snails (sigh!).
