Removing hydra from shrimp/snail tank Help

Post image

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: (

Ramshorns do eat hydra.

It's not safe to keep assassins with mysteries or neritids, you need to separate them.

Yeah my assassin snail is isn't actually a big snail eater I feed them mostly brine shrimp or blood worms they also eat micro guys from the glass but they seem extremely active and healthy
