Default shy fish now sunning themselves

...
have three quite large golfish in a large plastic tank. they are normally
shy, but in this hot weather they are sunning themselves very near to the
surface. why would they do this, and why are they not frightened as they
normally are? they are not gasping for air or anything like that.

===============================
What is the water temperature and do you have some kind of filter and
aeration in this tank? When they come up to the top that usually means lack
of oxygen in the water. Warm water hold less than cooler water.
