You mean the single is a bronze? Well most albinos are just albino bronzes. They will be fine. I only have three one albino bronze, one bronze and a peppered. They all hang out together all the time.

Like TKOS said I don't think he will be bothered, I'm really not sure that cories distiguish their species between them nor care. If it looks like a cory to them, they will probably hang out with it. I mean heck, one of my Pygmies thinks he's a cardinal, lol he's always swimmin with the shoal of cardinals.

hmm. My albino cories don't really hang out together at all. Maybe they are just strange. Sometimes they happen upon one another as they are foraging, but mostly they just do their own thing.

From my observations that is because the Albino Cory's usually have very poor if any eyesight. They can sense where their food is, but it is important to make a special effort to provide them with the sinking pellets.

Yes, mix and matching cories are fine. I have done that before with my larger tank. If you do proper water changes in a nice planted tank do not be surprised if they breed for you. These are good hardy fish.
Also depending on what green you have they may also be Aenus. This species is becoming one of the more easily designer fish where the colors are being naturally altered and selected.

When we start to run short on cories at work we usually start to group them all together in one tank.
They all school together and there doesn't seem to be any problem.
At some points we will have 3 or 4 different species in a tank together.
