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. Many fish, like Bass and perch, rest on or under logs at
night. Coral reef fish active in the day, hide and rest in crevices
and cracks in the reef to avoid being eaten at night.
The resting behavior of fish is very different from their behavior the
rest of the day. Many minnows, for example, which are very active in
schools during the day, scatter and remain motionless in shallow
water at night. Many fish "rest" or "sleep" during the day and are
active at night instead, but almost all fish sleep.
There are some animals that never stop swimming, like many species of
shark, however, they HAVE to keep moving to push water through their mouths
in order to breathe, and they may still sleep while moving,
we just don't know yet.

yep they do They do that at about midnight. If you carefully come close to the tank, without making any noise and torch, you will find most of the fishes are as if standing in the water. Though their fins would be moving.
Fishes dont have eye lids. so they cannot close their eyes.
Only sharks have eyelids.

YES
Now, for all those people that post the same question over and over, perhaps you should SEARCH key words in the search field and see if that question has already been asked, rather then wasting points and everybody's time. I'm all for getting points, but answering the same question over and over and over and over and over and over...again is quite annoying. So is SEEING the same question asked over and over and over and over and over and over...again.
