Can I house a Betta and 3 cories in a 10 gallon?
Yes, it should work out! Most bettas will tolerate other fish
It'll depend in your Betta's temperment. Some Betta's are fine with tankmates & others not so much. The other day I watched my male dragonscale Plakat flaring & slapping the nerite in his tank & I've seen another one of mine nip at one of his snails. This doesn't happen often that I've seen so I don't worry about it; I don't or won't put other fish with my Males. Make sure you have plenty of hiding places for the cories & make sure you have a back up plan just in case.
Bettas spend most of their time in the middle and upper half of the tank so I can't see them really caring about anything on the bottom. Then again as mentioned individual Bettas act differently. I'd say go for it until you see unwanted aggression.
