2 or 3 cories

[Dwarfs]

Can I fit 3 cories in a 5 gallon with a male betta? If it's too much I'll get 2.
I don't want any wasted room

3 dwarf corys would be fine.

My LFS and LPS don't have those

Maybe they could order some? I wouldn't put regular size cory cats in there. Not even one or two, because they are shoaling fish and would be lonely. I think my particular male betta would harass corys in a five gallon tank, but yours may have a different temperament.

Corydoras pygmaeus and Corydoras hastatus are the smallest described species, at twenty-five millimetres

2 regular cories will be fine, I have 2 in the 55 in my sig and have had them for a few years. 2 is fine. My betta attacks plastic lego figures (don't ask) so I'll keep an eye on them if I get them

Look for dwarfs they act the same and look the same but smaller and they will be alot healthier.
