Will any of the commonly available fish medications kill Hydra? Can anybody help me get rid of them??

Thanks
 
You could do a non-intrusive alternative. If it's a small infestation of Hydra, you could physically remove them from the tank by scrubbing and soaking all aquarium decor and artificial plants in bleach. Or there are certain fish and snails that will eat Hydra. Such as certain gouramis and pond snails.

If you want to look more into it and other treatments, I got most of my information from this website; Aquarium Pest Hydra - How to Combat the Aquarium Pest Hydra
Have a good day! :)
