Yup - and I want thriving if I can arrange it. The main fish I wanted
in the tank was the male betta and my feeling is that he's quite happy
there. The FS suggested a couple of Corys to clean up the bottom and I
went for it. (I really love those little guys.) This may have been a
mistake, although, saying that they seem happy again now I've upped the
water changes again.

It sounds like you're doing right by them. No one's going to suffer
and die in your current combo. Just a little more diligence on your
part to keep up the water changes. And two corys sound happier than
one.
