Looking great Lee! The filamentosus are stunning, congrats on securing a nice group of them.
wow, very niceOne of my beautiful boys at feeding time
I have some hydra in the blackwater cube, i don't realy mind them, should i?. I figure fish will probably eat them if they notice them.
Ive used both panacur with good success and also esha gaztropex which kills snails and hydra
Cheers Al! I have got some gastropex, which i bought to get rid of the bladder snails i have in my tank. I haven't used it yet though, how effective would you say it was at killing the hydra? I've just read the instructions and it only says "combats" hydra. The snails aren't a problem at the minute, and the population is quite small. If the gastro isn't gonna kill the hydra straight off, i'd rather just use the panacur and save adding lots of different chemicals to the tank.
Its 'combats' snails and hydra mate which to me means wiping both out. I did have what I thought was hydra and used this and havent seen it since.
If youd rather be certain theyre killed then panacur is a definite for wiping them out plus any other unwanted guests.
Up to you mate. If youve already got the gastropex theres no harm in giving it a go and seeing what happens.
Dont perform any kind of water change for a bit before though as water conditioners reduce its effectiveness
