Bolivian Ram Advice

[Sailfin Pleco]

I'm considering getting a pair of boliviam rams for my smaller tank but have heard then can be unfriendly towards other fish. What type of fish is it best to avoid stocking with this type of ram?

Other small, semi territorial bottom dwellers

Would they be ok with rainbows and corys?

Rams can sometimes get along with corys if the tank is large enough, but I really wouldn't recommend seeing if your a lucky one in any tanks smaller than 55g, rams are known to attack and pop the eyes off the cories if they invade each others territory.

The 2 new bolivians are getting on really well with the other fish so far. The little blue ram has taken to them nicely and is swimming about with the bolivians and looks happier than it used to
