At one of my LFS they were shipped some and the fish guy wasnt happy. They are albinos that have been diped into a dye. After a short spell they loose color and turn white again.

AAAwwwww man. I walked by some of those at the LFS and I thought COOL. Now I know its a sham.

the oens i have seen arent dipped into dye...they are fed dye-laced foods. same goes for blueberry tetras and strawberry tetras.

Not only will the color soon fade, the dying process is very cruel to the fish. In most cases, the fish are dipped in an acid solution to remove their slime coat so that they dye will take better. From what I know, most dyed fish live extreamly shortened and unhealthry lives.
