A fish wont sleep like us. However, it needs to rest too. Most fish will go to a safe spot and just be still in the water, usually towards the bottom. Labyrinth fish however prefer to sleep near the surface if possible.
If you have a fish with a normal day/night cycle like you, try to leave the lights off for 2 hours at night and then when you turn the lights on they will all be sleeping. Take note that some fish have different sleeping habits. You would think your Clown Pleco is dead while its sleeping, because it sleeps on its side.

Yes. Many times in aquarium. Even if we show our finger, it will be constantly in that position. But its eyes will be open, even while sleeping.
