im going to get a couple more albino cory since they are more active, but with more than one mean theyre going to cause the others stress, as my 1 now buts anything thats in its way (not meaning to hurt the ohers) and will the corys give my fry certain death ?
 
The more the better as far as cories are concerned, depends on the size of the fry, generally speaking cories arent a problem as fry tend to stay near the surface and cories being bottom dwellers dont tend to notice them.
 
Albino corys do tend to be more active for some reason, not sure why exactly but I'd noticed that too. More corys wont cause more stress, the cory isn't attacking any fish, IMO if the other fish don't move out of the way then they clearly aren't bothered by it.

And I agree with minx, I can't see corys going after guppy fry. Most likely fish in your tank to eat guppy fry are:
Guppys
Platys
Danios
 
Albino corys don't attack fry to clarfify they have been in my tank with guppy/endler fry of various ages with no noticeable loss.
 
Hi chob :)

Corys can be active, but they will not go out of their way to harm any other fish. They are true peace lovers. Since they are schooling fish, keeping a single cory can be stressful for it. Watch how happy he gets when you add some more to your tank. :D

Yep, my albino's were as peaceful, fat and happy in a group of 8. They didn't bother my fry at all when my gourami's mated.
