In water?
Your Goldfish does not sleep no goldfish in the world can sleep the main this they do is go to the bottom of the tank and do not move they are resting if there it the top and floating even with there eyes open they are ded this is not nice but all goldfish do is rest.
well it depends when the light are off or not
Fish, or goldfish anyway, never sleep. Well, they don't sleep the way we do anyway. They go into a sort of relaxed mode where they slow down but they are instantly ready to swim away if any danger appears.
me, being as thick as i am, dont know what nocturnal means. But goldfih are awake in the day, and sleep at night. Make sure u turn tank lights/room lights off because they dont have eyelids and cant sleep aswel in the lightThat answer your question? :DNo, goldfish are diurnal.
they go into a resting phase which is a phase where they use less energy
goldfish sleep with their eye open their eye are open all the time. Gold fish sleep with there eyes open...But they have a clear lid that over laps there eyes in which they see out of so there eyes are closed they just have a different lid then humans. Hope that helps you:)
Here are some facts about goldfish 1. goldfish can live for many years some can only live up to 25 years. 2. there are severl breeds of goldfish. 3. goldfish talk to other goldfish by there gurlls. 4.goldfish can talk to humans but you can tell
Some goldfish, especially large ranchu/lionhead goldfish who are lacking a dorsal fin, may lean slightly to the left when they are sleeping. This is normal behavior and shouldn't be of concern unless the fish is exhibiting signs of illness or is acting lethargic.
that means it is sick or hasn't had as much sleep as it needs.
They will sleep if you turn of lights in the tank but if you leave them on all night or at night, they may think it is still day and may not sleep. They dont really sleep, they sort of just swim to the bottom and rest. hope this helps a bit :p
they don't. i have my gold fish in a glow fish tank with a blue LED light and he acts just fine. ;) Light has no effect on a Goldfish's behavior other than the fact that a goldfish will usually go to sleep when the lights are turned off.
