I wouldn't.

most corys grow to be two inches, so your tank would be overstocked

Your tank isnt big enough for anymore fish. Get a bigger tank and then get cories.

Cories like to be in groups of 5-6 of their species so its impossible for him to be really happy by himself in a 3g tank

If you absolutely HAVE to get a few cories...I recommend the pygmy cories. There are 3 different species: Pygmaeus/Hastatus/Hasbrosus. They won't grow any bigger then the neons. You can probably get 2 or 3...IF... you have good filtration, and some experience in fishkeeping (1-2 years).
If you are a beginner...I wouldn't get any more fish.

The guppies will probably have fry sooner or later. You'll need a bigger tank ASAP!

definitely not.

I'd have to agree. C. Aenus are pretty large. I had a female who was well over 3 inches. 10 gallons is the minumum I would but this fish in.

i wouldnt suggest getting any more fish unless you get a bigger tank
