I have a colony of hydra infesting my marsilea hirsuta. Since it seems to be pretty localized to that one plant, I figured my best plan of action would be to remove just that one plant and dip it in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution to kill the hydra and remove their bodies before replacing the plant into the tank. I have a bunch of snails that I don't want to kill so I'd rather not use medications since many of them harm snails. Does this seem like a fair plan of action? If so, how long of a dip will it take to be sure that the hydra are completely dead? I'm open to suggestions if this does not seem like a wise plan, and thanks in advance for any advice.
Some tank specs: 10 U.S. gallons, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20, well planted with many snails and 2 male guppies.
