Skiing fish

Well not really skiing but swimming with their heads out of the water anyone know why this is?

 

I would say it can easily apply to ponds too.

 

Thanks for that,looks like I will have to put some more pond weed in the pond.

I have goldfish in my pond that are alway "cruising" the surface for food. My waterfall keeps the pond well-aerated (even in winter), and they've overwintered under the ice for 3 years now. Good luck, and Happy New Year!

 

Hi,
yes this really happens due to oxygen deficiency .this is applicable to all the water bodies .
sometimes oxygen level from the water body decline and there is no more supply of the Oxygen and this make water creature to come out or on the surface for oxygen.
This several ti mes happens due to the excessive growth of the insect or stagnant water .

 

Thanks for your replies,since the first post I have put in some weed in the pond and things have got a lot better.
thanks again and happy new year to all.
