Have you battled planaria or hydra? What did you do to solve the problem? To see what this tank looks like 10 months ago, watch here: ua-cam.com/video/ebfr2T0uehQ/v-deo.html
Get 2 female bettas. They will handle these!
Gouramis love to eat hydra
are any of these actually a problem?
@@corydora2894 The planaria are less of a problem, although they can be of left unchecked. The issue with the hydra is that they can sting the shrimp.
@@TazawaTanks try something like a Small Pond Snail, they are known to eat hydra
Used "No Planaria", then I made sure to place the shrimp food only into a glass petri dish. Haven't seen any planaria since I stopped scattering shrimp food. I also added otocinclus & ember tetras to help eat the leftovers. 😉
The very very best cure for Planaria & Hydra is "Panacur C dewormer for cats and dogs". Just sprinkle some powder in the tank. Can harm very sensitive snails like Nerite or Mystery, so take those out. But wont hurt common snails (MTS, pond, bladder). Won't hurt shrimp or fish at all. Works better than anything out there and is not expensive. Dose a little every few days until all the hydra and Planaria is gone. Very hard to screw it up. Also just an FYI, Pond snails, the ones that look like Yoda, eat Hydra. Gobble it right up.
As per Aquarium Co-op blog.. a Sparkling Gourami are the best micro predators, would happily eat Seed Shrimps, Hydra, Planaria
I've used the "No Planaria" product from Amazon multiple times on multiple tanks and it has always worked. Never harmed any of my shrimp, fish, or plants either.
I am about to give this a try, but be careful I have read that this does kill snails.
I second that!
I use Fenbendazole at .01 grams per gallon in my daphnia and shrimp tanks to treat hydra and planarians.
How is it on snails?
The tank is absolutely gorgeous. That tank is a dream of mine. I will be starting one when I get settled in Phoenix.
Benibachi Planaria Zero (Japan Import) saved me a ton of headache with both planaria and hydra. plant and shrimp safe
I've used No Planaria and it's worked great on killing the Hydra and Planaria without harming the fish or plants. Sometimes twice about a week apart.
I used a combo of a trap and 2 juvenile guppys. I had also found feeding in a dish helps to starve pests without starving the shrimp
I’ve heard good things about Genchem No Planaria. Shrimp and fish safe.
No Planaria treatment works very well. I was able to get rid of planaria within 2 days. It, also, killed off ramshorn snails. It is fish safe.
There’s a product called No planaria by Genchem. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve on shrimp groups where that gets recommended
A fabulous tank by the way. 👍.
My top tip with hydra is to remove them with something like a toothbrush. Do not chop the planaria. You need to add some planaria traps. Then introduce some various species of ostracods, copepods, asellus, gammarus (possibly Malaysian trumpet snails to stir substrate). These species will predate on any planaria eggs. They can still reproduce through being divided as adults, but it should only take a couple of months to catch 99% of them. Do not filter substrate - keep it working intact. Do not consider any chemicals except perhaps potassium permanganate after emptying life from your tank, but this short-cut is really not that necessary unless you have something rare you are breeding in there. I would say just do it the natural way bro. Nice vid.
Try making planaria trap with empty water bottle that have many needle size hole and put a bit of food in there then submerged it till it reach the substrate, the planaria will all get in there. Take it out after 1 or 2 hours. I tried it for a week and didnt see any now. Hope it work for you.
Hi zenzo,
Here in the Netherlands we have some powder that's called flubenol it's good for planeria not easy to overdose but if you have fancy snails put them first in another tank because it will kill planaria hydra and snails. After dosing do a 40% waterchange after seven days if you see more just dose again. For me it works on all my caradina and neocaradina tanks.
Have a great weekend
With love from the Netherlands
Stefan
I used Panacur c canine dewormer on my shrimp tank with great success
Works! Only had to use twice but killed pests and not shrimp.
Will it only kill hydra and not the snails/shrimps?
Your tank is beautiful. I would like keeping a shrimp only tank.
you can try Great Pond Snail Lymnaea stagnalis, but the also love plants. Dont feed artemia.
I'm not sure how it's done exactly, but there's a way with a 9v battery connected to 2 electrodes which you put in the water for a certain amount of time and that will kill the hydra, maybe the planaria too.
Dog dewormer for sure will work. Just do some research about the dosage. I had shrimps, assasin snails, plants and endlers in that tank. I removed my assasin snails, nuked it and after a week, no more planaria. Did a couple of WC the following week, placed the AS back. Everything was fine except for my assasin snails that started dying after a couple of days 😢
People say not to do it, but when I have hydra outbreaks (usually from feeding lots of baby fry food), I just wipe them off with paper towels. I try to do most of the wiping during a water change when they are on dry glass, the theory being that they are less likely to spread through the water that way. But some of the wiping has been while they were in the water too. The wiping + stopping feeding the fry food seems to work...Of course, others say wiping is the worst idea as it will spread them. And yours have gotten much larger than mine. You could try wiping and then make a video a month later about the results (i.e. whether they multiplied or not). Good luck!
No easy fix, but doable. May need to set up something temporarily (or you may have another appropriate tank going), but scoop out as many shrimp as you would like to have going forward, then send end the SWAT team, fish of your choice that will eat everything... planaria, hydra, remaining shrimp (but not ones that will eat the plants, of course). Net the fish back out when you are satisfied with the results and re-introduce the shrimp. Not the easiest, but probably the most straight forward way of getting it done? Thanks.
Why don't you put a corridoras inside ???
I use dewormers along with a planaria trap filled with small amounts of raw meat.
Loving the tank zenzo!
No planeria from Amazon, shrimp safe, or if that isn’t what you want, they have a planeria trap on Amazon as well
I use a cheap dog deformed it doesn't hurt the tank in small doses and out in the substrate like a root tab.
I had the same issue with my Bloody Mary shrimp tank . I ended up adding a Betta and she ate all the Hydra and Planaria and left the shrimp alone
I agree. It's worth a try especially if you have a thriving shrimp colony. Female Bettas are beautiful and they have personality. 😊
You should try feeding once a week with 15% to 10% water changes you can boost up the process of getting the planaria with planaria traps off Amazon hydra kinda melts off over time without food they eat micro organisms and dusty food this process helped me took me about 2 to 3 months with a 40 breeder cherry tank
Hi, have you try things with "saponin"? For example: Camellia Seed Cleansing Powder.
Love that hat!!
I heard lots of good things about No Planaria.
I have heard numerous times, Cory preaching about leaving the tank alone. Letting nature run its course.
That an option too?
amazing 🤩
For hydra and planaria..... Use no planaria medication. It's been used by a member on the forums recently for an issue to clean up hydra on their shrimp colony as well as other parasites.
Directions for use were from Mark's Shrimp Tanks. MAYBE A COLLAB!?!?!?
anyways though, yeah that should work for you!
I had the same problem with Hydra and not feeding didn’t work. I used
SOBAKEN Genchem No Planaria and it seems to be working. Most important it won’t harm shrimp. It will kill the snails though. Read the dosage very carefully. There is an included scoop but it’s more dosage than needed for smaller tanks.
I've had a planaria problem in my neo shrimp tanks and hydra in another tank - I've been using Fritz Aquatics Expel P and it's helped but there's still some planaria - but you can tell there's significantly less. It says to do another dose if needed so I'll be doing that soon. As for the hydra - IDK what to do about it other than remove all inhabitants and pour boiling water in there...
I've used no planaria successfully with shrimp and that eliminated planaria and hydra
I used a dog dewormer and it worked great. One treatment was all i needed to do and no harm to my shrimp or snails. I think it was panacur but not sure. I will do a little research when I get home and edit in if it was something different.
Can confirm panacur works great.
Thirding panacur, snail safe except nerites I hear. I've had bladder, ramshorn, and mts go through treatment no problem
Does panacur kills hydra as well?
@@kevinavellaneda3577 I've knocked out hydra and planaria with it
@@kevinavellaneda3577 I did have hydra as well and the panacur killed it all. When I treated my tank I followed the No Planaria, and after I did it there were still worms in the tank. By this point I was getting frustrated. But I couldn't retreat yet and it's a good thing because on the third day they disappeared. Woop Woop. So have patience. It will all work out in the end.
when it happened in my aquarium, i had yo cut some of the food ammount + take out part of substrate (planaria -less place to hide). this way, without any medicine, i fixed
Hi Zenzo, Yoda Snails will eat the Hydra, but not the Planaria unfortunately. Planaria can be battled with fish that don’t mind the bitter taste of them (that’s why your guppy spit it out 😉). I think a Betta will eat them or Gouramis as well. But I haven’t tried that myself. Best of luck getting rid of them.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋🏼
What is a Yoda snail?? Google doesn't seem to under anything past YODA when I look it up.
Sorry about that. Maybe the term was only known in Germany, I thought it was universal. The official term is Radix Balthica. Hope you have more luck finding it now
@maximilianklos8360 oooh! Lol That name I know. We call them pond snails in the US. Thanks for posting the name though - I was all excited thinking it was some species I didn't know about. Darn! Oh well. 😇
@nutmeggs i recently put them in my tank to get rid of the Hydra. Little did I know these snails are always hungry. They ate all the Hydra in less than 12 hours and started munching on the plants instead. Definitely not a snail for a planted aquarium. I moved them to my pond now, where they belong 👍🏼
@maximilianklos8360 Unfortunately in the US they are known as a pest snail, for two reasons: 1) like you said, they will demolish plants, even if you are feeding them and 2) they reproduce like CRAZY!
Hi! I had those before, when I was only doing 20% water change, I ended up doing 80% water change weekly and they were all gone after. Hope that works with you.
hi, i have female bettas in with the shirmp and they do eat the planaria
I got planeria once and used No Planeria and haven’t ever seen them again. I only had amanos in that tank. I consider myself lucky in this respect.
i may be lucky but i never had any of this problem and i even made the tank with the cheapest crap i found (the tank was found on a random roadside with no leaks)
I used the planaria trap
Zenzo
I would try a betta fish one male or female and have them live in that tank. The betta will eat up all that planari and other stuff. They should leave your shrimp alone. But than you can enjoy a beautiful betta fish with the shrimp and they like slow moving water anyways. I like to avoid chemicals to. Mollies, you could also add some African dwarf frogs they love worms like plant is and shift through the bottom where planarian live. ADF are also great and cool and cute to watch swim around. I don’t know if they will eat the shrimp but the frogs are slow so maybe not. I have two in my 20 gal long planted tank and they are always searching around at the bottom eating food from the sand substrate. You just have to feed them some aquatic frog pellets. After they destroy the worms lol. But the frogs are cool.
I have no idea if this would work, but do assassin snails eat planaria or hydra?
I had planeria kill all my few shrimp, paralyze them then eat, horrible. Used panacur c dewormer to get rid of planaria, so far have not tried to restock my shrimp.
Kuhli loach will help with shrimp tank
Sparkling gourami will eat planaria 100% of the time
100% confirmed. I used 2 or 3 honey gourami in my community tank that has cherry shrimp to pick off the hydra and planaria issue I had for a month. First tried chemicals and then 90% water change and the pests kept coming back. Honey gouramis worked for me
Will they eat scuds?
One guppy in 40 gallons? Think of one great white shark in the Mediterranean as specially if you’re chucking in a dead seal (shrimp food/babies) once in a while. You’ll never eliminate that fish you want to get rid off there.
Dwarf gurami eats hydra. And with all those plants shrimps are safe.
Have you tried Captain America or the avengers but there is always a chance that things could get worse
There’s a product called No-Planaria I used on my shrimp tank. Safe for fish plants and shrimp BUT it wiped out my snail population
That’s what I’m afraid of.
Surely your not that worried about snails are you.Any mystery or pond type snails are easily spotted and removed,put down a few of the large algae wafers wait several hours,they will be covered by then,lift out the wafer with attached small snails.Then treat,you should have got at least 90%..The rest may die but there shells will be re-absorbed into the building blocks for your remaining snails shells.I get every life matters all you can do is try and get as many as possible,but you wont get them all regardless.@@TazawaTanks
A beta would certainly eat it all. I don’t know of any other way apart from fish
I use no planeria
Mosquitofish... I hava a male in a 9L shrimp setup... eats 'em all!! 😊
And it doesn’t eat the shrimp?
No, he doesn't mate. He's more interested in females of his own kind... if he sees them! 'Mozziefish are minature cousins of the Guppy. However their intense breeding behaviour makes them a terrible community species.
Aggro.
I have 2 Ember tetras in my 🦐 tank
And they leave the baby shrimp alone
Well as far as I know 🤷 :)
I think you're doing it the correct way with a fish. A guppy or a few mollies. They'll eat the hydra and planaria. I personally wouldn't go a chemical route to kill them off, especially with inverts and all the plants. Fish are the best way. You could keep some even smaller omnivores that aren't as colorful if you don't want the fish to steal attention away from the plants or Shrimp.
No Planeria is the shizz
Mollies in the wild, live off of planaria and Hydra
You have cory ask him
You might have XD already
Maybe, take out your baby shrimps to save them n put a fish or two?
Panacur C
Use platty babies not guppy.. It will solve your pr0blem.....but remember 0nly platty fish babies n0t the adult 0ne..,b-coz the adult platty will eat your shirmp😊
if its a well established planted tank you shouldnt have to feed the shrimp tank at all honestly
Hydrogen peroxide will probably kill the hydra.
