I would love to get some cories for my 20 long white cloud tank, only problem is it is at a constant 70 degrees. Any cories that can take water that cool?

Am I just SOL on having cories in this tank?

I don't think so, but you need to do some research at either www.planetcatfish.com (http://www.planetcatfish.com) or www.scotcat.com (http://www.scotcat.com).
Looks like paleatus or barbatus might work.

What about lookin into some Indian catfish instead. Most Indian catfishes habitat would fit in good with the cool swift waters the White Clouds prefer. Ive been looking into Hara Hara the Butterfly Cat. To me they look more like a moth. They only get about an 1.5"and do fine in temps under 70. Only drawback I can think of is they are nocturnal and shy. Shy fish just take longer to understand because they are smart. I dont have $or space for them so I havent checked availability on the net Im just going from what Ive read in my Fish Bible

Brochis catfish are closely related to cory catfish but can withstand cooler temperatures

I have my pandas in a tank that stays 72 in the day and 70 at night. I had them in a 80 degree tank and they moved slowly and i think they didn't like it. They are constantly on the move now. (raised fry in these conditions too)

Been thinking about a bottom dweller for this tank again. Any suggestions that would fit the bill, no inverts as I am afraid the koralias would make short work of them?

You can do an advanced search on planetcatfish to find corys that would work, temp is a variable. I think there are several but not all will be readily available.

What about some type of hillstreamish loach they would appreciate the current and live longer in cooler temps.

This tank was originally set up for hillstream loaches unfortunately I am unable to find them.
