last time in my tank, the hydra always appears suddenly ( touchwood) then will gone for good de.

my worry is more on planaria.

an article i found online.

Trouble with Planaria

a paragraph which i found interesting

-Warning - Research carried out by Tim Henshaw at Bolton Museum (Lancashire, U.K.) indicates that Planaria carry a toxin on their surface. This toxin is particularly potent towards any species of shrimp and glass shrimp.

That is scary leh sian i only know that if u bomb it with concentrated salt solution long enough it will be dead. I caught some put them in a tauhuey kong. Than i throw in alot of sea salt. They all shrink until cannot see let it stay for 1 hrs i dilute it with water to see whether they alive doesn't seem to get back to live after 1 day. I wonder is it a good way to kill them (That is if planning to reset the tanks)

Bro koji grats on the baby but not the hydra. Was wondering, how do hydras look like in real life? I got some microscopic white things with about 3 "legs" crawling on my glass tank, worried it may be hydra, i never seen them before so i dont know .

I guess Avex30 is right once it is in your tank they will always be there. Whether u see it or don't. Cause they can hung everywhere, anywhere in your tank. Soil, plant, wood, filter etc. So best solution start cycling a need tank IMO .
