I have had my Albino ACF, Guillermo Rodriguez Lara for about 3 years. A friend of mine bought me a dyed albino ACF about a year ago. I DO NOT support dyeing frogs or fish or any living animal, but I'm not going to return a gift of a frog! (Also I do not support giving living animals as gifts, but that's another matter!) At least he is dyed a semi natural green color and it appears to be fading as he grows. (The other options were hot pink and blue!) His name is Carlos Baerga.
Love how you can see all the veins and details on Guillermo:

Guillermo after THIRTEEN minnows!!! (I didn't know he'd eat them all at once)

I certainly agree with you about dyed frogs and giving animals as gifts. It would be nice to know what the chemical makeup of the dye is. Some dyes have been known to cause cancer.
