Yes, due to friction, but nothing else.
Balanced forces cause stationary objects to remain at rest and moving objects to come to rest. If on exact opposite direction - nothing. Else it will produce a resultant force.
Anything that comes into contact with anything else generates friction. However, most of the time, this amount of friction, and the heat it produces, is so small that it is undetectable without extremely precise instruments.
non-luminous objects
Without friction you - and everything else - would simply slide off all the time.

Gravity? the strength of the floor?

You need to know the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of moving friction for both objects. The solution involves solving a differential equation so the math is non-trivial.
No. Friction is a function of Normal Force and the friction coefficient, nothing else.
A moving object stops moving due to friction. Friction may come from the surface on which it is rolling, the air through which it is moving, etc. Objects in a vacuum theoretically, will not stop moving until they run into something else.

there is no friction because air isn't friction and there is nothing else that makes a fish stop swimming.
