Do Fish Sleep?????????

Question

Community fish,like goldfish?

How can you tell if they are sleeping?

Answer 1

hello they do i have  a betta fish and it sleeps

Answer 2

Yes fish sleep but since they don't ever close their eyes it's hard to tell. Usually when fish are sleeping they hide and remain quite still.  

Answer 3

Yes they do. Usually by the time you look to see of they are asleep you have made enough noise and vibrations to wake them up.

When they sleep they just sort of hang in the water and not move much.

here is a blurb about sleeping goldfish

Yes, they do. My goldfish slept at night after I turned the light out, and I could tell they were sleeping because they were active and swimming during the day but around night time they'd drift close to the bottom of the tank and were still.
