Some fish do.

Answer 3

i believe so, my beta sits at the bottom of his tank and it hard to get his attention so i believe he is sleeping! (and yes he's alive)

Answer 4

no they don't sleep, they rest.  Only half of their brain is shut down when they rest.  Their brains are conscious as to their surroundings.  One eye is always sending signals to the brain and focusing on its surroundings.

During this period they are the least active and are usually in a safe hiding place.
