Default Odd goldfish behavior during rain

It's raining all kinds of small mammals, I was just looking out the
window at the pond and all the goldfish are lined up against the rocks
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?

Mine do something similar when the pond has been low due to
evaporation and I am refilling it. Best I can tell, they are eating,
or trying to eat, whatever has been out of the water and is now newly
available.
