Most likely it's instinct. Most fish have a natural instinct to swim into currents (there's a fancy scientific name for this that escapes me). It looks like they're just caught in an instinctual attempt to "swim up stream" which in this case is up your reactor. I've never seen a fish this instinctually driven though. Maybe it's a combination of instinct and thinking it's a safe/shaded spot?
