Sarcothelia said:I don't even touch hydroids when they're in my tanks. Had them in every tank I've had so far and they die off every time. Seriously add in live rock...makes cycling a lot easier. Just add it all in to be honest. In a 5 gallon tank, it would take less than a minute to take out ll of the live rock and nuke off any pests.
But yea...My advice...add in some live rock, add in a shrimp (preferably pure ammonia if you can find it) , and don't change the water until the cycle is well on its way. Good luck!
That's a complete different situation. You see hydroids sting, with big fish it may not be a problem, but with dwarf seahorses (1-2 inches big) it may be fatal. They also eat their food (they eat Copepods and BBS).
