I've never actually seen a fish sleeping...they always just seem to be floating around aimlessly....

Yes they do, they sleep but yet their eyes remain open and they float around.

Most fish spend part of everyday asleep. Being asleep can be different to different kinds of fish. Some fish (like herring and tuna) are motionless in the water during the night. Other fish like rockfish and grouper don't appear to be a sleep at all. They rest against rocks, bracing thereselves with their fins. Also some freshwater fish (like catfish) swim under a log or riverbank 4 shelter during the day. By the way fish don't close their eyes when they sleep; they have no eyelids!

I have an outdoor pond with a few goldfish in it. They definitely sleep. They suspend in the water. They hibernate through most of the winter. Sometimes they even go to the rock condo's that I built for them and sleep there!

First, the plural of fish is not "fishes," but rather "fish."
I don't know if fish sleep, but it's a fact that certain animals such as sharks never sleep, so maybe that's the case with fish, too.

Well if you have nothing better to do than watch fish having a nap, ................... But yes they do and with eyes open, like a lot of humans actually, now that is frightening

Its not really a sleep as they can still see and swim and are conscious, but they go into a sort of meditative rest that allows their bodies to rest but still remain on alert for predetors!

If they're always floating around aimlessly, they're probably dead.
