    Of course they sleep. I have two goldfish and when they sleep they stay still and sorta float in the water.
    I had a really cute fan tail who always took naps. He would take one at the surface and look dead. When his friends touched him he’d wake up and swim somewhere else :3

      Chichlids aren't actually aggressive at all, my dad used to own some and would put them in a tank along with other fish, including bettas. They're actually pretty chill with other fish hanging out in their habitat. It's only other bettas that they hate.

    Betta fish do this too. They don't really swim around too much, anyway. So, like goldies, bettas will actually use their mouths to forcefully push water over their gills. Some SHARK species do this too, believe it or not.

      Our pet stores won’t sell more than 2 goldfish to the same person. Guy said it was because of the ammonia produced by their waste, “regular” pet peeps don’t treat the water as they should, fishies die, and the store has to take em back, give new fish and refund $$. So they limit the # of goldies allowed to be sold…. Just an interesting factoid…
