Otos or dwarf Cories would be the only possibilities AFAIK.
Your tank is about 8 US gallons ?
C hastatus, pygmaeus or habrosus
are the only Cories that might work.

I have habrosus in with my RCS and they do great

I have 3 oto and 5 C. habrosus in a 30 cm ADA cube and they're very happy in there. I don't plan any other fish (I did have some CPD's but most of them have jumped out), but will add some shrimp.

if you got tanks at room temperature and you use a good pump or a diffusor, is a possibility too.

a bit too late, but i heard that the presence of Corydoras slows down the breeding process of many (dwarf) shrimp species.

I haven't tested this myself though...

Thanks for the info DutchFry! I have to watch how they go.
