Adding Betta Fish with Corys and White Mountain Cloud Minnows.

Hi,

I'm just wondering about the wisdom of something I'm planning on
doing. Now recently I acquired a Betta from my sister and her
family who had in turn acquired it from a friend of theirs.
Apparently, my sister's family was finding it to be more
maintenance than they wished to deal with.

About a year, or more, prior to this, we had lost our own Betta that
we had had for over a year. Unfortunately, it died from stress
related causes, but that's another story.

Anyhow, I have a 20 Gal aquarium that is populated by three albino
Cory Cats, and five White Mountain Cloud Minnows. What I'm planning
to do, at some point in the not to distant future, is transfer the
Betta to the aquarium. Now, I know that a lot has to do with the
temperaments of the individual fish, but in general is this not a
very wise idea?

I understand that the aquarium is probably near capacity as it is,
and that with the addition of the Betta I'll have to do more
frequent water changes. Bearing that in mind I'm currently more
worried about compatibility. From what I understand, Betta's are
_generally_ docile with other species of fish, and that Corys and
White Mountain Clouds are quite docile themselves.

Any insight/thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. Many
thanks to all group members who have helped in the past who might
still be current.
