The fishes diet I don't believe will help keep the chemical dyes longer. The food is for the natural coloring of the fish but I may be wrong. Besides being bad for the fish this is a reason not to purchase dyed fish. You will probably end up with bland looking fish with short life span. But that is just my opinion.

If u see some bright purple or blue one, thats dyed... Parrots turn to a "natural" red or pink color when they grow up. When they are juveniles they are black, yellow, or grey.
