Good quality water and a water change that drops the temperature of the tank a few degrees always did the trick for my green Cory cats. Like 2 or 3 degrees. Not 10.
 
I have them all in a 90g community, I was thinking I should move them to a 20g for breeding? Should I just move only the albino ones first to try breed them? Or could I move albino and panda? Really want to try ?

Put just one species in the 20 gal. You don't want mutts and hybrids as some will cross breed. Sand on the bottom. Temp in low 70s. Water change with cooler water when a storm front is imminent. Hang a spawning mop in the corner. OH and most important, be sure you have both males and females.
