This image is a first WIP, I actually wait the new rendering, with brown 
water, more trashes... My PC run since this morning and I post the new 
image as sson it is over.
But I agree with some of your points, I have forget iridesence, the fish 
are not really textured...

The plastic bottle is a lathe from Gilles Tran, the distorted aspect is 
due to a large crackle normal.

Scuffing/scratching the texture is the last step.
