Echinoderms can have ambulacral parts that include ossicles, plates, spines, and suckers. For example, sea stars or "star fish" have an ambulacral groove on their oral side (underside). This ambulacral groove extends from the mouth to the end of each ray or arm. Each groove of each arm in turn has four rows of hollow tube feet that can be extended or withdrawn. Opposite the ambulacral groove is an ambulacral ridge on the aboral side of each ray.
Star fish don't have eye spots, or eyes, they depend on their skin to detect light.
If the water surface is frozen, fish continue to swim.

Pelagic fish
Some fish are surface fish and others are not. Without you saying what kind of fish it is that is at the surface it is impossible to say if anything is wrong. BUT! if the fish are breaking the surface and gasping for air, then you have a major water problem and need to do some very large water changes immediately. Otherwise your fish will die.
i have seen native American artifacts of fish hooks carved from bone. the line end of the hook had a groove around the shank no doubt to retain a string or thread.
the fish that live close to the surface are not unusual and the fish that live in the deep ocean are unusual. the unusual and surface fish both eat different thing's don't live the same way
Not necessarily.
Dry lures are designed to float on the water's surface, while wet lures sink below the surface. Dry lures are more visible to fish and are ideal for topwater fishing, while wet lures mimic the movement of live bait underwater. The choice between dry and wet lures depends on the fishing conditions and the behavior of the fish.
it insulates the fish
When a fish dies, its body becomes heavier due to the gases produced during decomposition. This causes the fish to sink to the bottom of the water instead of floating to the surface like live fish.
I would have to get to your place and access your fish to feed them by adding suitable fish food to the surface of their container.
