Got a fluval spec V. Going to set it up as a nice home for a betta. Was thinking to add maybe 3 pygmy cories or 3 dwarf frogs so the betta isnt all alone. What you guys think?

I have the same tank, also homing a betta. I've pondered, and decided that a nerite, and possibly a couple of large amanos will be it's only tankmates. Pygmy cories really do best in a larger grouping that 3, and bettas can be aggressive feeders, which means frogs will have a tough time competing. My betta is rather pugnacious as well, knocking ramhorns snails around and pestering them enough that they seldom come out to feed, so I wouldn't trust him not to be rude to a tank mate--which is why I've not tested a shrimp in with him yet.
