Hello
I have a bad outbreak of Hydra. It's the white ones and they are all over my tank.
How do I get rid of them without killing my snails ?
I did do a search on the web, and it was said, that they appear in tanks which are overfed and that Ramshorn Snails eat them and also Croaking Gouramis would eat them ?
My tank isn't overfed. I feed 3 times a day very small amounts of flake. The fish finish this in under 2 mins.
The tank has a zillion of Red Ramshorns
I bought some Sparkling Gouramis, they ignore the Hydra completly (but I am worried they may become food).
The sparkling gouramis are quite small (2 are less than 1cm), so I am not sure how starving the critters would work.
What can I do to get rid of te Hydra, but not kill my snails and fish ?
Greetings
Sabine
