I currently have two tanks I carelessly got infected wiht some plants. I am trying to treat it using that panacur method.

They're ticking me off.

I found it on this site. that and the plant finder thingy attracted me here.

The panacur method thingy

it's been a couple hours and they're dying in the small tank. they're letting go of the side and drifting with barely a twitch. So far, so good.

I thought I would update the progress with my de-hydra-ation experement.

So far the small tank, which is my 5.5 gallon, and prolly got a bit more than 0.05 grams of the medication is free of living hydra. The Macrobrachium Pilimanus in there is doing well.

The Main tank, 25 gallon, I used 0.15 grams of panacur. Planaria are upset for sure, I've seen them moving around for the first time in months. There are still hydra but they don't look very happy.

All other animals seem quite happy.

I used barely a single package of Panacur in my two tanks. I have plenty left over incase of a reinfection. Panacur cost me about the same. No illeffects on my fish or shrimp and the hydra cannot be found.

How's the hydra going? Mine appear to be totally gone now.

Exellent. Should try to remember the name and your dosage + affects. This info would be useful to other shrimpers.

I think my issue was water lettuce that was infected.
