I have had my 10 Gallon QT tank setup for quite some time now. Probably a good 2 months. I have used it for 3 different groups of fish. This is the first time I have ever noticed anything slightly bad with it. I noticed hydra in the tank. After looking for about 10 minutes I have spotted maybe a dozen. I currently have 2 Furcata Rainbows and 1 peacock Gudgeon in the tank. I think they are big enough to be ok but I don't want them stung how do you get rid of the hydra.
I have a heater on the tank, HOB filter but no light. So I know the light isn't the issue. Because I heard to much light and food can cause them. How do I treat it? I have coppersafe, freshwater aquarium salt, ich clear, and fungus meds from previous fish problems. Do I need to treat with meds or should I just syphon out the leftover food every night?
Also what could have caused this? It just broke out after I got the fish a week ago. Could they have hitched on the fish even though I netted them and dumped the bag water? I did start feeding frozen blood worms around the same time though. And I did see 1 lone hydra in my main tank but dissapeared. Maybe my dwarf gourami ate it since someone said gourami sometimes eat them.
