It seemed to be pretty much all the GF but not the shiners, I have a
small waterfall, a little parrotfeather, 2 lilies, a pickerel rush,
and quite bit of water hyacinth, watercress, and a little water
lettuce.

Once the rtain stopped they all went back to the noraml routine of
drifting around, nibbling on roots, etc.

Think I'll go test the water, haven't done that in a couple weeks.
Thanks
Mike

It's raining all kinds of small mammals, I was just looking out the

lining the edges, looks like they're trying to beach themselves,
gasping at the surface.

I don't think they're in distress, as they're also chasing each other
around, I almost want to use the work "frolicing".

All the GF are doing this, large and small, though my "shiners" aren't
doing it at all.

Anyone want know what is going on?
