You are so lucky!
My wish is to get a tank larger than 29g...
If it were my tank, I'd fill it with driftwood and tons of live plants, and then I would get a school of colorful mid level water column fish such as neons or ember tetras...they get along well w/cories and they aren't manic enough to bother a betta and make him resort to violence.
