In the recent update minecraft 1.13, many types of fish were added including cod, salmon, pufferfish, and tropical fish. I think swamps should get their own underwater mob, the leech.
If you get in water while in a swamp, all leeches in that same body of water will start to latch on to you (sort of like zombie pigmen except you don't have to punch one of them). If a leech attaches to you, you will get the nausea and poison effect. The only way to take off a leech is by jumping up and down until one pops off. The leech would only have as much health as a chicken but it would be very fast which would make it hard to hit, and when it dies it will drop a leech tail which could be used for brewing.
The leech tail could be used to make a blood potion. When drank, the blood potion could give you extra hearts (the amount of hearts would increase depending on the level of potion).

Great idea. I'd love to see some hostile fish in this game

I like the idea of leeches, but I would put forward a couple of slight changes in the suggested game mechanics:
- they spawn in both swamps and rivers in clumps of 4-16 (or whatever)
- they are like skinny black silverfish and sit on blocks at the bottom of the body of water; when you are within 3 blocks on the same Y, they will all release and swarm towards you.
- they latch onto one location (arms x2, legs x2, back/torso) and can't latch on if there is another one there. (They just randomly swim around you waiting to get an opportunity to latch on.)
- after X ticks they drain 1/2 heart and drop off.
- X would depend on armor at that location.
- If you have a potion effect, it ends when you take leech damage.
- they all drop off whenever you take non-leech damage.
- dropped leeches will become fat (like silverfish) and half speed. They will drop to the bottom of the water block and rest for X ticks until they become skinny again and ready to feed... perhaps this is a breeding cycle and that leech splits onto an adjacent source block when it becomes skinny.
- they don't do well out of water and will just take damage/die when they drop off in air.

I feel if it also drop leech teeth (they make weapons stronger when you add them to weapon) it would be a bunch cool I still voted thou
-
they should do 6 damage of health bar I love the idea it would make it perfect edition
