Best Answer

Fish have an organ called a swim bladder. This organ controls exactly where in the water a fish is. Its fins simply propel the fish in a direction. The swim bladder controls the up and down bit.

Not all fish do swim to the deep. Some are mid water fish and others tend to stick close to the surface. It all depends on how they evolved and what purpose/place they have in their environment.

any fish needs to be able to hide at the bottom when a preditor comes and eat at the top and swim with the others in the middle of the tank

As with the Salmon, a fish would normally go upstream to the place of its birth, to mate.
