Actually in many cases the female fish is larger than the male.
so they can blend into the different habitats
Fish have lots of bright colors so that it warns other predators that it is poisonous even though it may or may not be.
While some species (Goldfish etc) have been selectively bred by aquarists for their colour the majority of fish have colours to help them stay alive or find a mate in some way. In some species it makes them stand out because they are poisonous and their colours stop other creatures from attacking them. This preserves the lives of both the potential hunter and the hunted. All fish need to hide for one reason or another and camouflage is a main reason for most colours.

I suppose a dying star shows more colours and hues, because it is larger and cooler and not so bright, so a lot more colours can be seen.

No they are not.
Guppys (Lebistes reticulatus) have been selected and bred for their spectacular colours and flowing fins over many years. The wild fish is nothing like the domesticated fish. The wording of your question implies that bright colours do in fact attract predators. In reality bright colours can also act as very effective camoflage in the wild.
they are different colours
why are there so many kinds of fish
yes!
Guppies would show a lot of different colours whereas the molly doesn't have as many colours as the guppy. Guppies and mollies however are said to be delicate fish so you must be careful what you put in your tank. Male fighting fish would think the brightly coloured guppy tails are other male fighting fish and would try and fight them. Mollies would tend to nip at fish with long fins. Both mollies and guppies are friendly. They are both active and eat a lot.
Guppies are an incredibly hardy tropical fish which makes them excellent for beginner fish hobbyists. They are also quite easy to breed and they come in many beautiful colours.
Fish have many adadptations for escaping from predators. * Their tails allow them to swim quickly. * Some fish can also swim backwards * The colours of different fish allow them to camouflage into water plants or into the sea floor.
