== == * I think what you are seeing is what we here call "boatmen." Once in a while, I find one or two in my pool, and I scoop them up and kill them. And they also bite and are tricky swimmers. I've noticed that if I'm low on my chlorine, they're around. In which case, I add more immediately. They actually live around ponds, etc., but I have a large body of water in the back yard. == == * These are water boatmen; they do bite, and yes, they can fly. Adding a non-foaming algaecide to your pool will get rid of them. They create an air bubble around themselves to breathe under water; the algaecide takes the oxygen out of the water (which is how it kills off algae) so that they cannot create the air bubble. If they can't breathe under water, they will leave! == == * If they bite they are most likely back swimmers, which look like boatmen but swim on their back. Bug out will kill them, unless you have a pebble-tec pool, I can't find anything that works.

When your fish died why did it sink?
When a fish is alive it swims by moving its fins and tail rapidly, this keeps them from sinking.But as we know when a fish is dead it no longer controls its body and there fore no longer swims, and as was just stated brings to the conclusion that when a fish is dead it no longer floats because it is no longer swimming.Also, a fish doesn't have any air bladders that would keep them afloat as kelp do.After death the air bladders shall allow the dead organism (a fish) to stay afloat until along with the body the air bladders decompose and release the air and let the dead body to sink.But again, fish do not have air bladders so when they die they shall simply sink.
