I seem to have hydra in a few of my tanks Killing hydra 196631 How harmful are these guys? Whats the best method of killing them? Should I bite the bullet and do the electric shock kill method? With fish removed of course. Will they hurt 1" zebra plecos?

When I've had them come in on something, I eradicate them by using a pinch of either flubendazole or fenbendazole.
I've used this in tanks with fancy plecos and tanks with shrimp with no adverse effects on either animal!
