I was looking at my aquarium glass and i Noticed these green things with a lot of legs and researched and it was. Hydra. I don't think I have too many but I want to get rid if them quick. I've heard Molly's eat em but I'm not very sure how fast they will eat them. So if I do have to use medication what medicate do I use? It is a 75 gallon with 11 polypterus so what would the dosing be.
Found hydra in my polypterus tank

Last resort would be to use copper sulfate. Easiest way is to physically take out as many as you can and then purchase some blue gourami's. they eat them voraciously

I don't believe so. I believe the only way to get rid of them with medicine is Copper sulfate which I believe will affect your BB. If the Gourami's don't start eating them within the next couple of days, your best and safest bet is to physically remove the Hydra yourself.
