i am about to get a 15 gallon tank and in it i would like to have the following:
Albino african dwarf frogs
Albino tiger barbs
Albino cory cats

would this work? and does anyone know any other albino fish that would be a good addition
 
The Tiger Barbs may not be a good choice for a 15G. They are somewhat aggressive and need group of 8+ which would be way too many. They also need a longer swim space than that would allow. The cories may present similar problems as they prefer groups of 6+. I'm sorry, I don't know much about albinos. Good luck with your tank! Make sure to read up n cycling if you haven't already.
 
No tigers, no cories. Cories will be too active, and albinos get 3" long. The ADFs require to be hand fed in most cases, and I find them to be the most stupid creatures I've ever seen. They'll drown while at the surface off the water and, bassically, starve standing on a mountain of food.

Really, the only thing you can put in there are albino paradise fish (gouramis). You can't put albino bristlenose, tigers, cories, RTS, kribs, etc etc in there, and I don't know of many other albinos besides oscars. In shortened terms, I don't know how someone can have an albino 15g. If someone knows of small, compatible fish that could be put in there, please speak up and correct me.

Oh, I almost forgot albino guppies (although they don't look albino to me...)
 
i wouldnt say they are "to active" for a 15 gallon, but an adequate group would be to much for a 15 gallon. there are other alternatives like panda or pygmy corydoras taht stay smaller and would be a better choice.

tiger barbs are not a good choice either. they really need schools of at laast 12 to help curb aggression and keep them from nipping at the other fish, and 15 gallons wouldnt be enough for them.

do you have any other fish that you like?
