So I was wrong it was mostly just dirt and some loose algae from the fish basically getting stuck in some of my water plants along the edge that have algae on them. It washed right off though it's not any type of fungus.

here is a picture of one of them: https://ibb.co/grZnwhF


Water temps definitely fell rapidly. We were in the 70s and 80s already outside temp and then out of nowhere had a 3 day freeze that we hadn't seen in 100 years. Then a week later we were back into the 80s.

Definitely seems like it turned over, but maybe the stress screwed them up. It's just odd I didn't see this last week and I turned the feeder on and this week they start popping up. I'm guessing they were just stuck in the depths.
