My girlfriend just sent me a pic of my albino corydora. Im not there this week as im working away.
His head seems to be turning quite red. And she said he isnt moving much (but i have noticed they do have lazy moments during the day) . I have two albino corys and 2 normal ones. What do you guys think?
Its the one at the very front of the tank.

Red may be indicative of ammonia poisoning. I would have her do a partial water change, test the ammonia levels, use prime. If possible, quarantine the guy.
 
I see two white bumps on him 1 about a 1/4 inch behind his eye at the 3 o'clock position and one a little closer at the 5 o'clock position.

I don't if albinos have those patches or not. Can she get more pics of the sick fish and of the healthy one?

I just googled albino cory to compare and it looks like those patches might be normal.
