Because you have bottom feeders.
Best I can do without knowing what type of fish.

It depends on the type of fish. Some are like that. Some are bottom feeders. Some do that when they are not in good shape.

It could be one of two things, it could be that due to the lack of necessary pressure near the top of the water the only way for them not to explode is that they must stay as close to the bottom as possible.
Or.....
It could be that you have really old lazy fish and they can't be botherd moving ! lol

Unless they are bottom feeders, it sounds as if they are about to pop their clogs. Test the water immediately. If the results are bad, take remedial action. Also ensure the water is sufficiently aeriated and the temperture is correct.

more than likely they are sleeping
most fish go to the bottom of the tank to rest/sleep
that way they conserve energy

What breed are they? Could be a PH issue.

Might be a problem with their swim bladders.
