colour in fish is neurohormonaly controlled and so when fish are resting/less active they will have less colour aparrent

particularly noticeable in things like cardinals/neons etc

if the fish has a regular light pattern as in nature then their ryhtmn can establish to fit with this
purchase a timer socket to run your light power cord through and set a regular on off time
