When a small body of water dries up, where do the aquatic animals go?

Specifically the fish and the frogs, you never see dead creatures in dried up creek beds for example.

It really depends on the body of the water and the animals living in it. In some small bodies of water that dry up annually but refill in the rainy season the fish can lay eggs that survive in the mud or small leftover puddles until the hole is refiled in the rainy season, letting the eggs hatch and life goes on. In other regions some fish survive by burring themselves deep in the mud and going into a kind of hibernation until the water returns. If it is a genuine lake drying out permanently, the fish and frogs die and are quickly devoured by the land wildlife. As for in dried up creeks, the fish and frogs go with the flow, so if they realize the water flow is weakening, they will swim upstream or downstream to find the biggest body of water they can.

Hope this helped.
