I don't think we are arguing. My point was that rainfall in the autumn (April 
to June) causes a rise in the water table and some flooding which in turn 
begins the swimming phase of the annual killifish cycle. There may be other 
periods when they are submerged, but winter is a major period when they are 
actively growing and breeding and thus they are definitely cold water fish. I was 
reporting my own observations in the field about water temperature. That was the 
beginning and still is the title of this thread.
