I saw it previously sitting upside down on a reed with its ‘fingers’ in the water. It also previously, when it got a fright, jumped in the water and stayed under the surface for a long time. I caught it here sucking on my goldfish.

Well, that behavior is consistent with fishing spiders, Pisauridae family.

This is the first photo I’ve ever seen of a spider eating a goldfish. Very interesting!

Hi, looks like one of your huntsman spiders,(Sparassidae) having a snack.
Sry, cant peg this from the venter,,rain spider possibly.
