Interesting; it is nice to have these things sorted out. its been quite a few years since debate was started as to the relationship between these L No's.
Congratulations Ingo Seidel.

hi
Not much information that I can give you; but, I hope this little amount may be of some help.

Re: Asian catfish that can breed in home aquaria?

My advice is to start with relative easily spawned fish from around the world , and observe and learn from those experiences. Gradually your knowledge base will increase over time; but, don't forget ...

Re: Species of my albinos corydoras
They are the common Albino as you suspected
The other form of 'albino cory' that can be found in our LFS have a longer spine to the dorsal fin and are more blue in hue.

Re: Does my pleco look healthy?
Your fish appears to look OK.
If the rapid breathing continues when the fish is 'unaware' that you are observing it, increase the oxygen intake and try treating for gill flukes.

Although; I concede that as Silurus was the scientist who described P muricata as well as other Pseudolaguvia species. You should give predilection to his I.D.

There are other Malapterus 'sp' that look similar to M electricus, like a catchment location or country of export would be a help in narrowing down which species your catfish is.

Present size (SL) may help and any catchment location. Whip tails either Sturisoma or Sturisomatichthys species can be a tad difficult to properly identify from alone photograph. Photographs of the ventral surface can also help with identity.
