Is this Oscar "painted"?

[NYCFISH]

What do you guys think?

Just picked up this baby Albino Oscar today, but not sure if he is dyed, as his colors are very bright and I have never seen this color variation.

Any ideas?

My LPS just got some of those in and are calling them Ruby Red Oscars, they are completely red, even on their face.

doesn't look dyed at all, common albino red oscar.
you can call it whatever you want though.
that red color will grow and intensify as the fish matures, given proper conditions.
