Fishes do not exactly float, except when they die. Although fishes can move upwards and downwards by rising and sinking, sort of like a helium filled balloon. To do this, fishes need to reduce its overall density by reducing its volume without increasing its mass. For this, fishes have what we call a 'swim bladder'. This an organ that expands and contracts, just like a human lung. When the bladder is inflated, the fish has a maximum volume and is pushed to the surface. When its deflated, it has a minimum volume and sinks. In this way, fishes are capable of rising and sinking and also staying at a particular level.
Hope this helped :)

What makes bony fish float?
Bony fish have a swim bladder that helps them regulate their buoyancy and control their depth in the water. By adjusting the amount of air in the swim bladder, bony fish can increase or decrease their buoyancy, allowing them to float or sink as needed.
Do sucker fish float when dead?
yes since when their around enemies they pucker up so when their enemies kill them they pucker up and float
Describe how fish float in water?
Fish float in water due to their swim bladders, which are gas-filled organs that control their buoyancy. By adjusting the amount of gas inside the swim bladder, fish can control their depth in the water column and maintain their balance. Additionally, the shape and density of a fish's body also contribute to its ability to float and swim efficiently.
Why do blob fish float above the ocean ground?
The flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming.
How do tell the difference between a dead fish or a sleeping fish?
fish dont actually sleep; they have no eyelids. scientists dont know for sure but they think that they go into a state of rest. It can be hard to tell if a fish is sleeping; they might float motionless, float on bottom of tank or hide in tank decor.

Can a non salt water fish be in salt water?
No. A fish's body is naturally buoyant to allow it to float at a certain level in the water. Saltwater is more dense (because of the salt), which makes a fish more buoyant. A freshwater fish, swimming in saltwater, will float too high in the water, and it will die from struggling to keep itself at a deeper water level.
What is the swim bladder in a fish?
