I thought I would share my experience of hydra with everyone and see how tackling them goes.
I have only just discovered them and am off away at the end of the week so time is of the essence here.
The tank has been running for over 8 months with nothing being added in the last 6 months; I wonder if my diamond tetra were keeping them under control before I moved them around month ago. At the moment there are just some dwarf ottos and crystal red shrimp which are breeding like mad and the hydra does not seem to have effected the shrimplets as reading suggests.
The hydra only seem to be in the one spot; on the darkside of one particular stone but who knows where else they are lurking.
I'm hopefully going to get someEsha Gastropex tomorrow which I'm told is shrimp safe and should tackle the hydra - watch this space.
