    My QT-turned Sakura red shrimp tank has grown some hydra. I’ll follow the recommended practices regarding over feeding, and I’ll also pick up some no-planaria or nature boys basta planaria to see how it goes.

    Like @Breado, I also had a case of planaria and Basta Planaria did an amazing job. They were gone in a matter of days and the bottle goes for miles.

    Basta planaria is great for hydra, used it on 11 of my tanks for hydra and it cleared it right up

    Blasta planaria appears to have worked well for me so far. Hydra gone and shrimp are fine. Even the pest snails that came with the shrimp seem fine.
