My bet is that they are starved of oxygen. In sunlight they will heat up too quickly and the oxygen in the water will disappear. Bacteria will grow much faster too.
Check your filter is clean and working and if it is possible, have it aerate the water. Change a third of the water weekly with clean fresh water (no chlorination).
Cut back on feeding them as excess food pollutes the water - they won't starve. Most people overfeed fish.
I hope this is of some help.
