Suffering a bit of an outbreak of green hydra. Seen on posting on net that fluke-tabs are a popular recommendation, but wanted to know if safe for my corys first.

I've never had any problems with hydra, but I think I've read in an older tread that Ian F. uses a Blue Gourami as a "biological weapon" against these...

If you only use one female blue gourami there's no danger of nest building.
