SL-aqua Z1 bio protector with corys ?

Post by kiwidu21 »

Good morning,
I currently find myself invaded by hydra. I found this product: https://www.onlineaquariumspullen.nl/en ... oLeL_nuurW
What do you think, particularly about the toxicity for corydoras and hypancistrus?
How do I disinfect my equipment?

Hi all,
You can use a very dilute solution of fenbendazole to kill Hydra.

It will also kill Tricladida flatworms, but only at higher concentrations.

Cheers Darrel

From the descriptions on the product it sounds like it may be the same thing (betel nut) as No Planaria. Which has successfully eliminated hydra for me.

The tanks I've used it (No Planaria) in had paleatus corys, otos, L010a whiptails, and various loaches and seemed to have had no ill effect on them what so ever.
