do fish sleep?

Yes and no they rest. Since they do not have eyelids they do not sleep but they do rest. Sharks have eyelids but the need to keep moving to push the water through their mouths to keep breathing.

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.

Yes, they do. They just can't close their eyes. I've even seen them have nightmares (they jump suddenly)
