Lots of Black Bullhead Catfish (Ameiurus melas) swim together in a stream in the woods along the Swamp Rabbit Trail at Sheldon Lake State Park, in Houston, TX, USA. There's a mix of large (adult?) Catfish and smaller (juvenile) Catfish. They all seem to be skimming the surface of the water, seemingly in an attempt to either get more oxygen or maybe to eat something floating on the water. I've never seen large Catfish swim together like this before, although I have seen babies gather together.
