I currently have a Singapore wood shrimp (filter shrimp, removes small food particles from the water, keeping it cleaner) and a Burmese Mountain shrimp (scavenger), both would go well with the cory. I used to have ghost shrimp (pesky little dudes, but neat to look at, also scavengers, but will also pinch fish and fight for their food, but too small to hurt anyone) but mine vanished one by one. I think it had to do with my water being too soft. And once dead, ghost shrimp get eaten pretty quickly even by small fish like corys. Amano shrimp would also be good and they help with algae control.
