Yes i think they sleep with their eyes open because in my knowledge they dont have eyelids.

Fish don't 'really' sleep they rest, they don't close their eyes as they're not sleeping! Nor do they have eyelids.

I believe they do. I have a fish and it goes down to the bottom of the take every evining for a while and stays in one spot. I guess it's sleeping, but I dont really know cause the eyes are still open.

wooin girls?LOL not sure about some fish sence I show fancy gold fish and koi. but they go threw a mating dance of sorts. the male fish will rub against the female and chase her . putting her in the mood of sorts. and forsing her to lay eggs. The male fish will get what they call mating stars on there gills. they look almost like little pimples. The dance can last for quiet a while. sometimes exausting the female to the point of dealth.
