Thoughts A Male Honey Gourami and A Male Betta

[MDBuckeye]

I am thinking about moving my male half-moon betta to a 20 gallon H community tank. The tank is planted with hiding spaces, objects to break-up the line of sight, and I have a betta log. It currently have 6 panda corydoras, 8 rummy nose tetras, 1 male honey gourami, and a nerite snail.  In my limited experience with honey gouramis, they have been peaceful with all my other fish, but I have never kept them with a betta. The long fins of the betta makes him relatively slow. I want your thoughts or to if anyone has ever tried this combination before I tried it.

My back-up plan is to put the betta back in the 5-gallon. Trying to avoid a mess the moment the betta goes in the aquarium. 

Thanks

you can try it. id not be too concerned about the other fish bothering the betta, but if that betta hasnt been with other fish, its 50/50 if it will tolerate other fish.
