All living things need to rest, even plants.
Why is this under teens? Are you turning into a fish?

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.

Many species of fish have periods where they are active and periods where they are not. That could be considered sleep; however, fish do not close their eyes because they have no eyelids. As well, some fish (like tuna and shark) rely on water moving constantly through their moths to breathe, so inactivity is not an option for them.

Yes, everyday fish sleep by just staying still in the water. They keep their eyes open while they sleep. Sharks don't sleep though.

Yes but fish sleep with their eyes open so it looks like they are awake. Why is this under "Teen"? Are you related to a fish?

Yes,they do.They are still while asleep.It is somewhat difficult to tell other than that,because thay have no eyelids to close!That is why it is good to have pet fish in the dark for 10-12 hours,I once read.
