kelso Fingerling Posts: 43 Kudos: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	I was just puttin one of my plastic plants back in my 5 gallon tank, after cleaning off a bunch of snail eggs and i noticed on some of the gravel and on the glass that theres some kind of spore like things. Theres a thin steam attached to the glass and on the other end are a bunch of tneticle like things. (sorry tried my best to describe it). Is it something to be worried about or am i just over reacting over nothing?

Gouramis supposedly eat hydras, and will clean a tank of them. The kinds that do this are the three-spot gouramis, and the pearl gourami. If you really want to rid your tank of hydras, get one of those gouramis. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
