petlover,
Go ahead and get Dory the cory some companions. The risk of having fry is very low in a community tank.

yes i think that they do better in groups and they look better to! i've never had a pair breed on me when i had them (about 5 ) in my community aquarium! so i wouldnt worry about them breeding and even if they do other fish in the tank will most likely eat the fry if not the cory themselves!

Don't worry. Cories are egg layers and are just as likely to eat the eggs as to allow them to hatch. Most of the time you have to make special arrangements to help the young survive in a tank. At the minimum, giving them enough cover to hide assuming the eggs are fertilized and allowed to hatch. Chances are you won't have to worry about any fry.

Add more plants or moss to provide hideout for the fry, the survival rate will be higher.

You usually have to induce spawning of corydoras. Get a bunch and enjoy, and don't worry about babies.
