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?


Maybe eating any tasty things washing off the rocks?

My GF like to line up under the waterfall if it's been off for a while and

I
restart it. I always thought they were after the oxygen/fresh water, as

they
like to congregate at the end of the hose when I top up the pond. But

maybe
it's the algea washing off the rocks.


I always thought this was akin to riding the East Australian Current, dude.
