Hydra Defeated

Is been a long time since my last tread.

Got Hydra invested in my tank through a plant I bought from 328.
Never isolate the plant.(lesson learn)

Never care much about the hydra untill my sec Crs pregnant due to lesser shrimlets found so decided to put the dog dewormer try for two day but nothing works.

So decided to find this 8in1 CANINE DOG DE WORMER 1gram is green Colour box. Bought in from pet lover. $26.00. Call them first before going down have some unhappiness in their service. Took me a while to get it done

Total 3 packets of 1grams, open 1 packet and distribute to 10 parts =0.1 grams drop it Into the tank. Waited for 24 hours. (0.1 grams for 10gallons)

Hydra curl up like a ball. Drop the sec 0.1 gram. Wait for 24 hrs

Some hydra is gone. So drop the third 0.1 grams

Hurray. Hydra all gone. Planarian also gone.
Take all nirite snail as all when dead. Bought 3 again the next day when dead also.

Do a water change and wait for 1-2 weeks than put back the snail it should be safe by than.

All my Crs , shrimlets & cherry shrimp going strong & producing.

Now experimenting to hatch cherry shrim eggs manually I think is the first time my cherry got pregnant cross w/ rili. That why drop eggs. Will update once success.

I still have 2 packet & 0.7 grams left PM me if interested.
Cheers.

Wow nice.... What gave you the thought of experimenting with this?

Bro great info can you guide on how to split up into 0.1 gram.

er... maybe we can make this sticky it very useful. Rather than letting people anyhow whack.

Cheaper option, just use No Planeria

I saw my cherry taking and shaking of the eggs. So i thought of experiment it to see wheather can it really hatch without the shrimp.

i think i am lucky enough to see it and just nice it started to drop so i pick it up or not it will be lunch for all my shrimp & snail.

Bro every packet is 1 grams, open up and split it in 10 small portion. like this it should be 0.1gram.

I think he meant, what gave you the idea to use this dog dewormer and how you know it would be safe for your shrimp, if it can kill your snails?
