do all fish go dull looking at night time? because ive noticed that when i turn my light on in the mornin most of my fish's colours are duller, less vivid. or could this be because of a lack of oxygen with out the plants photosynthesising?

Yes most fish get duller colored at night..unless they are nocturnal...Its the fishes resting time...they dont move much and there colors fade
Most rainbowfish do not go dull and they are not nocturnal (except blue-eyes, I believe) . In fact, they are at their brightest in the very early morning when the sun (tank light) comes on. That's when they exhibit their breeding colors and spawning behavior.
Gorgeous sight first thing in the morning, lemme tell yah. If I remember I'll try to get my camera set up at 4am and take some shots.
They pale out during the day a little, but still display their colors off and on.

For many fish it is a survival mechanism. There is no need for strong colors and patterns while they are sleeping, it would just make them more visible to low-light predators.
Are your neons really bright in the morning, RTR?
I guess I should have specified Boesemani, because I know that for a fact. The others are just what I've read.

De seguro no sabes lo que dice aqu
I see that behaviour in my gouramies and angels. If I forget top turn on the lights when I leave the house in the morning, when I come home at 7 pm i see them almost white, specially the peral gouramies. Also, the I have 4 blue gouramies that change from pale blue to navy blue in a matter of hours. It's like having multiple fishes in one specimen.
