RCS 10gal and the war against HYDRAS!!!!!

[IvanSanchez]

i've been fighting this war with hydras for about a month. Water changes galore did nothing and feeding less was pointless.
Soooo..... I got in the atomic bomb of shrimp-safe hydra be gone cures.
Fenbendazole!!!! I bought some at le petco and dosed 5ml earlier today.
I am waiting patiently for the results.
I followed aquarliam's dosing from his site.

Day two. I still see Hydras. But some aren't erect as before(Maybe they are dying?) :)

[IvanSanchez]

Hydras dead! Fenbendazole is great!

Glad to hear it!

thats good to hear. did the shrimp seem unaffected during the whole treatement period? Also, how long did you treat?

[IvanSanchez]

I only treated once and checked up on the shrimp every day to see if any would be affected. I had 4 berried shrimp in there and for all i know they had babies successfully.
I dosed according to aquarliam's dosing http://aquarliam.com/?page_id=4&shopp_pid=5
I had no shrimp die and according to plantedtank many members havehad success with fenbendazole.
Just once and done. I dosed in all of my tanks.(29g community and 10gal dwarf puffer) and they all had success.

Glad with results!!!! :)
