I have an albino Cory that I've had for several year now. He is by himself along with some loaches and BN plecos. I think I just read that they prefer to be kept in groups up to 5 or 6. I never knew that. If that is the case, Ill grab a few more for him.
 
I have 5 panda cory's, and they stick together - I would suggest keeping in groups
 
Yes they are much happier to be kept in a group. You will see much more natural behavior with a group of 5 or more.
 
Some species are okay in singles or pairs, emerald greens for example, but it's more fun to have them in groups:D I claim the large population of them in my moms classroom tank I take care of, around a dozen albinos. Just know that a large group will rip up plants to play with. I had a really lush planted section of my 30, put in 6 albinos and they ripped up the plants and carried them around and passed them from Cory to Cory like some sort of expensive game:/

Yes it is best that they be kept in groups, of at least four to six of each type. Your Cory will be happier that way.
 
OK, cool! Gonna grab a handful of the albino's tomorrow.
