Just wanted to add that I don't like keeping any cories in a 10g tank. Even the small dwarf cories need swimming space and they aren't really bottom feeders, but use the middle area of the tank as well. 20g would be my minimum for any cories, although there is a 15g footprint (the longer one)that small cories would be ok in. If you were to get Dwarf cories for a 10g, give them the tank to themselves and have it mostly open.

Albino cories should not be kept in a 10g. They can get about 2.5-3" and are too large for that tank size. I wouldn't keep them in anything less than 20g.

And carbon does not take out ammonia and nitrites which are the harmful effects of a cycle.....so cycle the tank before adding the fish.
