In the sewers, underneath us, as we sleep! What creatures lurk? What fish live!?

Exactly. I remember as a child we would try fishing in through the sewer grates to the dark and inky water below. I'm trying to remember clearly, but i seem to remember a few strange brief and light tugs on the line..
 
what about amphibians ? frogs. i highly beleive there are afew crabs and lobsters that love to take a hike from there owners tanks at night
 
Love the idea of this thread...lets keep it going!!
 
Scenario: 12 inch red tailed catfish is flushed for some terrible reason in, oh, texas or florida. It manages to escape the main sewer flow and end up in a long forgotten deep underground well. The cap of the well has some cracks, allowing rats in and out of it. Not to mention bats. The catfish survives on baby bats learning how to fly and falling into the water, and makes its living off hunting the rats that come to drink. The catfish grows to over 4 feet in length, lives out its natural life span, dies and is consumed by an escaped colony of fiddler crabs who live near a broken pipe spewing salty water from a water softening plant.

weird or what?
 

I'll say..wouldn't want to get something nipped while sitting on the throne....But are there pool type areas in the sewer systems with standind water,I was always under the impression that the water below was flowing away mostly or at best,very shallow?
