so the population has gotten a little bigger has spred to the glass thoes little bastards are tough. went over it with my alge maganet several times and the are still there, i think that i will try a snail or two mabey that would help i think they have killed a few of my white clouds, and i believe that may be that reasoning behind my betta dying that anubus plant was his favorite place to hang out, if all else fails i guess i will just scrape them off the glass and get rid of the anubus, but i wanted to avoid that if i could.

I read that brine shrimp are a favorite food of hydras and you can starve them out by feeding your fish flake food. It's just what I read, and yes, they are really only harmful to fish smaller than 15 mm. If I hear of a good way to get rid of em besides chemicals I'll post it. I always thought they were cool to have but I guess it depends on the fish you have.
