Just wondering if anyone knows of fish that will eat hydra, but won't go after baby shrimp. I've got a hydra problem in my 15 gallon red cherry shrimp tank, and I want to get rid of it without losing any shrimp. Thanks.
 
Every fish that I know of that would like hydra (blue/gold/opaline gouramis, paradise fish, etc.) would love young cherry red shrimp as well. They're both too similar in size and chitinous taste - I can't imagine a fish that would target one and not the other.

Sorry,

Eric
