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: (

No planaria will kill all hydra but your have snails will need to be removed.

This is the one, OP. It's worked for me in a couple of tanks. Just gotta keep all your guys in a bucket with a bubbler for a few days. Plenty of water changes, for both your tank once it's planaria free, and for the bucket quarantine whilst it's running.

Yeah I used it once and did two 50% changes following then put my snails back in and only lost 1
