Yes they do believe it or not. They cant close their eyes though but they just go to the bottom of the tank and just lay there without moving lol

Yes they do, I own a saltwater tank and the fish often look dead. They tend to go in the same area and seem to be propt up motionless. I have to say when I first took up the hobby I did actually think they had died,lol, but as soon as I put the lights on,they start to wake up.

Well im not sure if they sleep but they rest. When they are resting they usually just sit at the bottom of the tank.

everything has to sleep, but fish dont have eye lids since the water around them keep their eyes moist anyway. and they just keep swimming because fish cant breath without moving. you can tell their sleeping if they are moving very slowly towards the bottom of the tank

Most all fish spend time in an energy-saving state that can be called
"rest", and we might even call their behavior "sleep", though it is probably different than "sleep" in most land animals. Many fish, like Bass and perch, rest on or under logs at night. Coral reef fish active in the day, hide and rest in crevices and cracks in the reef to avoid being eaten at night.
The resting behavior of fish is very different from their behavior the
rest of the day. Many minnows, for example, which are very active in
schools during the day, scatter and remain motionless in shallow
water at night. Many fish "rest" or "sleep" during the day and are
active at night instead, but almost all fish sleep.
There are some animals that never stop swimming, like many species of shark, however, they HAVE to keep moving to push water through their mouths in order to breathe, and they may still sleep while moving, we just don't know yet.
