hydras in the tank?
hi all,
gosh. I didn't know where to ask this one.. I was staring at my tank (again)... and saw what I think are hydras... (if I remember my high school biology book correctly). they look like short white lint with fingers sticking out one end, while the other end is anchored on glass, gravel, plants. there seems to be a whole bunch of them. I haven't looked more carefully, but they seem to be more near the bottom of the tank. is this bad? if bad, what do I do? linda |

Yup, that sounds like hydras. I found just two in my tank a long time ago, which no doubt means there are more, but unfortunately I can't see them now. is this bad? Not especially. While they do have a poisonous sting, much like a jellyfish, they're far to small to hurt anything except the smallest fish - like fry. Hydra would be bad in a breeding tank, but in a normal community tank they shouldn't be a big problem. -- www.ericschreiber.com |
