Cories in a 10 gallon?

Are there any cories that can live in a 10 gallon tank with a betta and some shrimp?

I apologize if this question has been answered here before. I looked for a similar thread but couldn't find one.

Maybe Corydoras panda. They're on the smaller size.

At this moment, in a 15 gallon tank, I have: 12 pandas (adult), 10 sterbai (3 cm), 9 schwartzi (adult) and 5 agassizii (adult).
All depends on your filter system and water changes.
changes:
10% every 2 or 3 days
40% every week (on weekends).

They live great, they spawn, they are happy. I know they are very limited on space (I am working on a breeding setup for each species and rearing tank to start a serious breeding program)

Oh, wow, I didn't realize that they could be kept in that kind of quantity. I guess I'll stop stressing about the possibility of 5 pandas or bandits in a 10, that's what I was thinking of. I do 50%+ water changes at least every week, usually twice per week and sometimes a smaller change in between. They're 'for my son' (he helps with the upkeep but of course I do the bulk of it) and he really loves pandas and bandits.
