What's the smallest quantity they have usually? i only need it for my small nano tank ard 25cm cube..haha..and is it safe for cories?

smallest package is 3 liters. It should be save for cories since no sharp edge but it may not be good idea because cories may disturb the soil and your water might become cloudy/muddy.

jus bought the 1kg small pack of aquarium sand meant for corys =) btw, just wondering because the aquarium sand is almost the same colour as the food bits i threw into the water for the corys and its almost same small as the sand, was wondering if its like that, would the cories be able to pick them up eventually? will they accidentally eat some of the sand and cause any health problems?

The Corydoras should be able to tell what is food and what is sand. They do not ingest the sand but rather just filter the sand for bits of food, with the sand passing through their gills.
