As long as they don't get aggressive to each other you will be fine.

Thanks! They are both breathing pretty heavily do you know why? Stressed?
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 15 ish

Part stress, part adjusting etc. your nitrates are a bit high for rams. Who are sensitive to then. I would do a water change.but wait till they have been in the tank 24hr. It would just add stress now. With rams you want to keep your nitrates as low as possible. 10 or under is good.
