Of course they inhale water in order to get air out of it (through the gills), but you probably mean do they actually consume any of it? The answer to this is also a resounding yes. Every living creature needs to consume water, including fish.

Freshwater fish do not actively drink water, but absorb the water through their skin and gills. On the other hand, saltwater fish do actively drink sea water. Their gills process the water and take out the salt.

dont they kind of live in it. I doubt that they actually have to try to drink it. It drinks without knowing or trying

Only when they become dehydrated after swimming enough laps to burn off 3000 calories!

yes, but most of thier moisture requirements are met by absorption through the skin.
