They are immersed in it, they don't have to drink it. The water in you tank evaporates that's why the level goes down. Keep it topped up and do your water changes.

Marine fish need to drink as the water surrounding them is saltier than their body tissues so draws water out of them by osmosis. They drink the sea water and special cells enable them to eliminate the salts while 'drinking' the water

Use common sense! Even if the fish did drink the water, the fish are still in the tank, and the water is in the fish, the water level will not drop.
Evaporation and water splashing out in small amounts(like I said on your other question) are causing the water level to drop.

Interesting, not sure. I think instead of drinking it, the water is necessary for them to live and obviously it is absorbed naturally in two ways , first through their skin and then through their gills.

Fresh water fish don't actively drink water. They absorb it through their gills and skin.
Salt water fish do drink water.

Fish bathe in the water like what you would do in a spa but I think they dont drink it I think they get it from there skin?

That's an interesting question! I really don't know, but am going to look into it, just for the hell of it.
