Yes, well they rest at least... i have 2 goldfish and at night they stop swimming and my fantail (the others a comet) actually rests on the bottom of the tank. At first I thought something was wrong with him but he's just resting... hehe

Yes fish do sleep, that's why it is important for you to turn the light off at night.

Yes! they don't close thier eyes due to their lack of eyelids, but they do sleep. if your fish just sort of stops swimming around and stays and one general location (that is NOT on the surface of the water!) then it is sleeping.

YESSS of course they do!
the reason you may be confused is because fish actually don't close their eyes when they sleep: they don't have eyelids!
but trust me, they sleep.

Yes. They can't close their eyes, but their brains do need sleep.

Yes, they do.
And they need darkness, because if you keep the aquarium light on all night, they don't sleep well.
