Swamp fibres live in environments lacking in oxygen by metabolizing methane produced by decomposing organic matter. The fibres tangle together, making the water torpid and viscous... like a sort of fibrous gelatin, which increases the stagnancy and aids the swamp fibres. Water infested with swamp fibres is unusually black and opaque.
