Why do some of my cory catfish have green in their eyes

[16gallontanker]

Some of my albinos have green in the eyes is this normal or a sickness

Look at the top portion of your Cory before the dorsal fin, you see the small gold specs? That looks like Velvet (Gold Dust parasite). It looks like infection is surrounding the area of the specs. There are specs on the nose too.

No, this is normal iridescent patches on this species of corydoras. The Albino versions still have iridescent markings to them, but are harder to see in a lot of cases. There is no velvet on this fish. This is an albino hoplisoma paleatum, or albino peppered cory, and the markings line up with exactly the same spots they're supposed to have a metallic shine.

Can slightly see the iridescence on the shoulder here, that's a hard one to show in most photos. But top of the snout is a very bold spot for iridescence on paleatum.

Can compare to normal color paleatum, the iridescent patches are the same, except they show less blue on albino.

I am looking at his picture. I dont know what it is. But thanks for pointing it out. I wonder if his Cory is scratching on objects.

I do have to wonder if it is the same ones too.

Zooming in on the eye of his fish, it does look like there is something there, not quite as fine as velvet, but not really as well defined as ich either, and too fine to be the sand.
May indeed be worth treating with an external parasite medication, may be a protozoan infection going on here.
