Are there ant fish on the ocean floor?

The deep ocean floor is two or three miles below the surface and water is heavy  Down there, its weight exerts a pressure of two or three tons on every square inch, What’s more, the sunlight pierces less than a mile and the ocean depths are blacker than blackest midnight  Yet certain fish manage to survive in the darkness and under the terrific pressure 

On the way down, there are a few weird little fellows, often gaily colored and glowing with strange headlights in the gloom  Wormy creatures also have been dredged up from the slimy ooze on the floor miles below the surface
