That really depends on how long it is staying still for. Some fish are capable of just sitting there and fanning water across their gills so that they can breathe. This means that they can sit there until they eventually starve and die.

If fish stay still in the water for extended periods of time, they may become an easier target for predators, as movement can help them evade capture. Additionally, staying still can also make it difficult for fish to access food resources or maintain proper oxygen intake through their gills, which can affect their overall health and survival.

no, they need to constantly be moving to have the water run through their gills to breathe...

fish stay in their own zone because they need to stay away from dangerous creatures and sometimes they don't want to be alone with other fish they don't know.
