Is this algae or some type of organism? The green little stems with hair like tops on the wood.
Ha! Indeed they are! I don’t like the recommendation for getting rid of them though. Anything else I can do?

If you leave a tiny bit of one behind, it can regrow. If you break one up, any parts left behind can each regrow into a new Hydra. Hence the name, - after the Lernaean Hydra.Well that sucks. I have a TON of nerites in my tank and it would be a real pan to have to do that. I’ll try manual removal for now of what I can see.
I’ve been reading you could use excel or H2O2, I may try that first. I don’t like medicating if I don’t have to. Not worried about fry just yet.I had quite a few appear in my tank a while back. Misted them with Excel and they were gone the next morning.
I assumed the Excel killed them and the shrimp ate them once dead.
Haha yeah I considered that, but I don’t like getting animals to solve a problem (snails are the exception!). The gourami would probably prefer my hydrocotyle over the hydra anyway!Insert gourami for a few days..... maybe you need to hire James Bond for a few days
Dwarfs might be ok but point taken.The gourami would probably prefer my hydrocotyle over the hydra anyway!
