Canā€™t tell if these are bronze corys bought them under title green corys. Was thinking they were bronze and wanted to boost numbers thatā€™s why the albinos are in there. Any help would be appreciated

Can you get some more photos of him please?
@NCaquatics is the best at identifying different cory species, but several clear photos from different angles will help.

I agree with @Metalhead88 that he's looking a bit rough, maybe some excess slime coat, which usually means poor water quality, or a fish that's being bullied. Can you tell us what else is in the tank with him, and your water test results please?
 
Yes thats corydoras aeneus, often called bronze or green corydoras.

Yeah he looks like he's shedding excess slime which can also mean external parasites.

Id opt for a cautious treatment of General Cure or Praziquantel
 
Bronze or green emerald. Commonly used interchangeablely, but have different amount of spikes on their dorsal fin.

Not sure if it's the pic, but he's looking a little beat up.
Thanks for the help, yeah the one I took a pic of had been beat up a little by some yo yo loaches I had in the tank I took them out and heā€™s been getting better
