The fish that live at the bottom of the sea are equiped with a swim bladder and by adjusting the pressure in this organ they can go up or down easily as they swim.
they have a tail and fins..... so they're always up, even when they're sleeping, although you cant see it because they dont have eyelids!!!
Fish cant swim without swim bladders they only float around and get moved by the current of the water.
enables the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking.
They can breathe underwater because they have gills. They also have fins so they can swim underwater without sinking.
Fish do not normally "float around" they swim. If your fish is floating/sinking then it is probably dead.

The swim bladder
It is called the "Swim Bladder".
Fish have an gas-filled, internal swim bladder, whose buoyancy they regulate to keep from sinking or rising in the water.
Fish body is of boat shape to balance itself in the water nature have given swimming bladders for fish.
One adaptation would be a swim bladder, that being in bony fish. Sharks I believe have their liver that excretes squalene, which I believe has something to do with their density. In fact, it does.
Shark
Without fins, fish would not be able to move around (swim) and live.
swim bladder is what helps the fish stay afloat without the swim bladder a fish would simply sink duhhh
