No, and you shouldn't buy dyed fish. Only encourages them to keep dying them. I won't even shop at stores that sell them. Read that link posted previously called death by dying. It's absolutely awful what they do to those poor fish. Stick needles in them under their skin to inject the dye, some are stuck in a pool of acid to strip their slime coats, then put into a dye solution. And, as you're noticing, it doesn't last very long, and shortens the fish's life span/causes health problems. Some fish especially parrot fish are actually mutilated-they cut their tails off and call them heart shaped parrot fish.
Sorry for the lecture, it's just wrong though. It's amazing what people can/will do to animals to make a buck.

no, A dyed fish will fade over time if they live long enough. The ink is a toxin and the fish's body does what it should with a toxic substance and eliminates it.
In the future, don't buy dyed fish. The process is extreamly cruel and most fish dont live through it. The ones that do live very reduced lives.

No but it doesn't really matter anyway since they don't live very long. Dying them is just sentencing them to a painful short life where most of them don't even make it through the dying process.

No, and they don't live very long anyway, unfortunately.
I think Glassfish are pretty enough with making them go through the painful dying process.

No, it's just like when you get Sharpie marker on your fingers. Eventually it fades and goes away.
