there is a good chance the betta will get territorial. I had this problem in a 10g. Had a betta in there, introduced 3 tetras and quickly removed the betta for the sake of the tetras. He flared his fins and chaced them around relentlessly.
ideas for 15G

With 30% water changes a week that would be a reasonable bioload for a 15g. If it was my tank I'd skip the betta and add a ram -- bolivian (preferred) or a german ram.
I don't like to mix SA and Asian fish...
I would add 4 cories, 5 if they are the smaller peppered or spoted ones. The more cories the happier they will be. The 15 isn't much different than the 10 in which I keep 3 of the guys but 4 would be better. My betta would chase and flare at my white clouds when they were kept together but that would last for a minute or so and everyone would calm down. As long as there is no biting then it should be fine.
I put a male betta in my 55 gallon and he chased the platy's and mollies around. I added a female betta thinking he would be more occupied with trying to show off but he would corner her and beat her up so I removed him, then the female started killing fish in the night. I had blamed it on my fast paced giant danio's and was almost to remove them when I got up in the middle of the night and found my female betta had a guppy pinned to the bottom thrashing him so out she came.
