New to cory cats, quick question...

Hi. I just got 3 aeneus corydoras (1 albino, 2 bronze) 2 days ago. I have a couple of questions. A lot of people told me to get 3 corys and a betta to fill a 10 gallon tank. So I did. The tank has been running a year when I added the cats. After visiting this site, I wonder now, will they out grow this tank? If so will a 20 be okay? Should I add 1 more if I have to upgrade? I really like the look of the cute corys at the bottom with the lovely betta at the top. Right now I do a 20% water change on Mondays and Fridays. Ammonia 0, nitrItes 0, nitrAtes 15, ph. 7.6, temp,77.
They seem to be adjusting pretty well. Is it normal for them to swim back and forth across the front of the tank when they see me? When I'm out of view they act normal. Are they "begging" like my betta? Also I have an apple snail, will they get a long with him? Thank you so much. :)

No, but if you want more corys, you'll have to get a bigger tank.

the only problem with apple snails in your tank will be when it dies, loads of protein an only ten gallons, be prepared.

Hey. The apple snail is only 3 months old, so I should be good for a while. Thanks so much!

P.S.
What an awesome site! If only all fish species could have a site like this one, there would be a lot more happy aquarists(and fish). :)
