For the THIRD time, I’ve got hydra (oligactis/brown hydra, not the green type) in my shrimp tank. Probably hitchhiked on some new plants. Going to treat it with 0.1gram/10 gallon (38L) by dissolving safe guard dog dewormer.
From experience, I know that this is safe for larger pond snails and baby assassin snails. I’ve got some other snails now, which I haven’t tried fenbendazole with before so I wanted to hear from others how these snails do with fenbendazole.
-Ramshorn snails
-small/baby pond snails
-Malaysian trumpet snails
I can setup a temporary tank to move out all the snails I can find, but then when would I be able to add them back? Even with fresh AC, residues of the fenbendazole would remain. Should I dose less? If so, how much? So far I’ve only seen one hydra, small-medium size. Big enough for there to be more, and I have a few saddled and a berried female shrimp. No shrimplets yet though, and I don’t have any shrimp younger than 2 months.
