Is there any way to tell the difference between a male and female albino cory?

Yep, there is!
Hi,
The way to tell males from females is that females tend to be more plump and rounded (especially when carrying eggs).

the only way I can tell the difference between my male and female cory cats is my male is a little smaller then my female and the female gets fat right before she lays eggs.
The same "rules of thumb" would apply based on the species the albino is. Aeneus sexing for Aeneus albinos.
For example, Adult Bronze (Aeneus) Corys can be sexed by by a few traits: When looking down from above, adult females should be wider behind the dorsal fin, while adult males tend to remain slim in this same area. The ventral fins of males are generally more pointed, while those of females are more paddle-shaped (My personal way of determining as this can be done much ealier). Lastly, females are generally a bit larger than males, having about 20 percent or so more body mass than males.
