Best Answer

Yes, goldfish can sleep with their aquarium light on. Having the light on does make it rather difficult for them to do so though. Having the aquarium light on all the time is not good for the fish, so please shut it off for at least 8 hours a day for the fish. Having the lights on all the time is not good for the fish and may result in an abundance of green algae.

They sleep on the bottom of the tank, in a hiding spot, or in a plant. Wake up before them and see where they sleep. All of mine have their own sleeping spot.
