I looked into my tank the other day and noticed some hydra hanging on the front and sides. Upon closer inspection, I saw them everywhere!
To start I scrapped them off the tank walls and removed them, did a 50% water change and removed the most heavily affected plants and rocks. I'm sure this won't solve the problem, but I thought it might be a start. Plus, I noticed tons of cyclops, so I'm going to turn the filter off for a few days, possibly longer.
I'm not going to feed the shrimps for awhile, until they've taken care of some of the algae.
Any other suggestions for removing them without harming the shrimps?
