Removing hydra from shrimp/snail tank

[u/Vindamant]

10 gallon tank (temp 72)

I have a slight hydra problem but I'm not sure how because I barely feed this tank

Stocking: 12 raccoon tiger shrimp (2 pregnant and possibly shrimplets) 2 baby mystery snails 1 large adult 3 Otto cats Bladder snails 1 assassin snail 3 nerite snails 1 anoma shrimp (i know I spelled it wrong but idk)

Plants: Anubis 2 crypts Water sprites Hornwort Christmas moss/java moss Red root floaters Duckweed Pothos Spider plants Amazon frog bit Java ferns

I've tried removing by hand but I can't access ALL my tank due to it being very thickly planted and alot' of driftwood in the back: (

I had Hydra in my mystery snail only tank. I wanted to switch substrate so I nuked tank with hydrogen peroxide. I was freaked out by them because the Facebook fish groups I was in made them seem like the end of the world. I didn’t have many and could have probably dealt with them more conservatively. I am glad you are aware of the dangers of some of the chemicals used for hydra. I’ve heard bad outcomes months later from residue but also heard those that used them with snails in while they treated doing fine. Not worth the risk.
