Sorry, my apologies it's been a long day.

Did you cycle your tank before putting the fish in there? Are you using tap conditioner when you put fresh water in? Also if they're both males they can be aggressive towards each other, and stress each other out, also 3 gallons is on the smaller side, especially with having two in there.

I just took another look at Hydra, unless there's a variant I'm not seeing, it isn't a Hydra.

I really don't think they're hydra, their "stems" are way to stumpy and they seem to be less spindly. These guys are more like "fans" as opposed to a hydra's "tree" like look. I'll still be treating but I'll probably stick to a salt bath when Shoto has had time to adjust.

I think it's a variant of vorticella apparently many others have had this species and struggled to identify it too. Though this is going off other peoples verdicts in other places from previous posts/reddits etc. I've added a picture from the webs which is pretty darn close to mine. My only...

These guys don't move, they just sway in the water hence why my drunk self thought they were hydra when I first saw them

Vorticella! Now I just need to know if these are harmful or not

damned internet. (I should've known better) I'm pretty sure it's not a cyclops, I just took about loads of pictures and managed to get this.

Their "tentacles" aren't as long as a hydra's and there seem to be a lot more of them (tentacles) too. They seem to bea lot smaller than Hydra's also, I've heard Hydra's can grow up to an inch? these are teeny. I can't find anything other than bryozoa that fits their description, I know they...

Are the pictures good enough to establish what they are? their numbers seem to be increasing rapidly. I've added some Cattana leaves (not sure if I spelt that right) and a coconut shell to the tank. Which has really improved Shoto's wellbeing, though I have a feeling it's bolstered these...

Here in the UK we don't have any dangerous weather systems, I can't even begin to imagine what it's like going through it all. Though I am likeminded as you Slaphppy7. If there's a chance you might get caught, then get out of there, don't take the chance. Stay safe guys!

I did a little digging last night, and I inspected the potential hydra a little further and I think I jumped to conclusions. Now with a sober mind on the case I believe that they are a form of bryozoa, as for the other smaller critters I have no idea. I apologise for the quality of the...
