Yes a green pacman with breed with an albino....they are the same species...just different genes coding for different colors. As far as how...place them together, during the right part of the year and it should work.....make sure you have a male and female..and make sure to feed them so they are not temped to eat each other... good luck

I know that breeding horned frogs in captivity is pretty difficult. The breeders who do succeed, do so by building outdoor enclosures that greatly resemble the frog's natural environment. Of course, if you lived, say, in NY where I do, this is impossible. Maybe it could be done in a greenhouse.
I do know that breeding them is very difficult. If you do succeed in getting them to mate, the tadpoles and froglets each need to be in their own seperate, small container (like a baby food jar.) This is because they are highly cannibalistic at this stage (as well as later in life too.) In nature, the bigger ones simply eat the smaller siblings.
I would love to hear of someone actually breeding these in captivity who would share their experiences.

I only have second hand experience with breeding these guys (work experience at a reptile zoo; they weren't breeding at the time). Considering the many babies produced, it might be beneficial to allow some cannibalism at an early stage. This means all your efforts to raise the babies will be concentrated on the strongest, best captives.
