Try some Three Spot Gourami (Blue Gourami). Your prawns should be big enough by now that the Gourami won't hurt them, but the hydra probably won't hurt them either at this point. The prawns my start eating them.

Yes, they ride in on plants and wet wood.

If the apple snails get hungry they will. Cut way down on your feeding. Your shimp only need a couple of small pellets a day each right now.
