The beginning: I have a 40 gall breeder setup where the hob filter was connected to some tubing in order to have the water intake on the other side of the tank, smart right? Not so much. One of the tubing was badly sealed and ended sucking up the soil from the bottom of the tank a spouting it in...

LOL I was fearing a new and horribly hard to remove snail, and instead they are my cute Pygmy Cory? Woah!! How are the chances the will survive by themselves? Sadly they are in a point I cannot easily reach without moving everything. (and no, I cannot see anything inside)
