RE: [AGA Member] Hydra in tank

["Schenck, Lyndle" <lschenck@dcscorp.com>]

I have recently used fenbendazole (the trade name is Panacur) to kill off hydra in my tanks.  A very small amount sprinkled on the surface is sufficient to kill hydra in a 20 gallon tank.  I had several dozen week-old rainbowfish fry in the tank and they were not affected as far as I can tell.
 
I ordered Panacur powder from one of the online equine vet supply companies.  It isn't very expensive and a small amount goes a long way.  If anyone is interested I will find the url of my source.

	As promised, 2 pictures of the hydra in my planted 29.
	As a bonus, (3rd picture), at the other end of the same tank, the corys are
	spawning this morning. I have my video camera setup and it is recording some
	great breeding activity.
	Not the clearest glass in this tank. It is about 25 years old.
	While this is a heavily planted tank that is doing well, I am sure Amano
	would barf to see it.
	But it is also a working tank, with some wonderful platies with fry, now
	corys spawning, and of course
	I seem to have mastered breeding hydra as well.
