Aquarium Advice Addict
My parents live in a house that is surrounded by a lake (about 25 acres of lake). When I mow their grass down by the lake I always see fish that are laying on their sides in the shallow portion. When I drive by them they flip over and swim away. Does anyone know why fish lay on their sides in the shallow end? Are they sun tanning? When I say shallow, I mean water that is about 6 or 7 inches deep . This has always perplexed me and was curious if anyone knew why fish did it.
