Can fish sleep?

they dont sleep as such because they have to kep moving to pass water over there gills but they do go into some kinda rest mode! but I dont think they have eye lids its more of a clear fiml type thing over there eyes! xxx

I would think so…but I gotta say, this question made me smile…I don’t WHY it tickled me so much…something about the eyelids, I guess…

I don’t know if they sleep or not…:)

Fish go into an energy - saving state which is called ‘Rest’ Some float in place, some wedge themselves into a spot in the mud or the coral, some even build themselves a nest. They will still be alert for danger, but they will also be “sleeping.” Most fish do not have eyelids (except for sharks) :)

Fish do sleep, you can usually tell if they are just in one spot for a long time or if they have a cave to go into. that’s what my fish did. they don’t have eyelids though.

they go into sleep MODE!!!
