Any guess what this could be?

The site claims the fish is not GMO and they are not tattooed. Somehow the dye, whatever it is bonds to calcium rich biominirals. Bone, shell, etc.

Fluorescence is far more common than most people realize.
If you obtain a 405 nanometer (violet) laser pointer, you can detect fluorescence in wines, beer, wood, chlorophyll, and many other natural objects and substances.
It makes a good party trick.
Think of all the detective shows that use black lights to detect semen and urine on bedsheets.
People bring black lights to motels to check bathrooms for effective house cleaning.
Blue fluorescent dye is used in laundry detergent to make yellowed clothing look white.
The dye adheres well to most fabrics. I would expect it would also adhere well to fish scales.
Bring your black light into the laundry room and look at all of the splashes on the walls.

I would be too but they seem to have non fluorescent fish in the same tub/video as the treated ones.

in case of the scorpion, so the thing leaches dyes the liquid in which it is preserved but the pigment cannot be isolated?

Detergent molecules bonded to scales. That's interesting.

I think this is the claim that's a bit odd:
"This's not the GloFish you've seen at most pet aquarium shop in the past decade, our Fluorescent literally lite up the surrounding area like lights bulb."
Seems to indicate, and based on images from their website, that you don't need black light. They just glow "like lights bulb."

Not the detergent. A dye that is similar to the dye added to detergent.

The black light is clearly visible as a light blue glow all around the fish tank.
You can see the casing of the fluorescent flashlight in many of the photos.
You can also see non-fish objects fluorescing on this page.
The rocks are phosphorescent since the glow exponentially decays over the next 4 to 5 hours.
The fish are probably just fluorescent, but the implication given by the rocks is that they are as phosphorescent as the rocks.
The parts of the fish that are not fluorescing are either heavily pigmented or lacking in calcium.
All of the fish in the tank seem to have been treated, some are more pigmented than others.
