I only saw one pic of a fish living in trash. It's sad to see but at the same time it's good to the wild life adapting and using the litter as artificial reefs. Sort of the same as when they dump old railroad cars and sink ships in specific areas to create reef systems. I'm not for the tras in the water, just pointing out the resourcefulness of the fish
