I have a 37 gal moderately planted (hoping to get to heavily planted with growth) tank. Running two double sponges and a Fluval Aquaclear 70 HOB.
Stock 5 sparkling gourami,
1 baby bristlenose pleco,
3 Amano shrimp,
1 dwarf Mexican lobster,
7? Mystery snails (I've reduced my stock a lot, but they hide, so it's hard to be sure of the exact count)
I have the beginnings of a hydra outbreak. A lot of what I'm reading keeps saying that means I have great water (yay?). But they are definitely making everyone but the gourami uncomfortable.
I know mollies are a control mechanism, but I didn't really want mollies. I did not want to deal with the inevitable babies. I had intended to next add a couple of honey gourami, but I don't believe they really eat hydra.
Is biting the bullet and getting a pair or trio of mollies my best option?
Anyone have experience with honey gourami eating hydra?
Is No Planaria a good option with my stock?
And now I'm also reading the ramshorns and endlers may also eat them? I have both in my betta tank and could move them over.
