If I get:
2x Longfin German Blue Ram (Female + Male)
1x Shortfin Electric Blue Ram (Female)
1x Shortfin Gold Blue Ram (Male)

Would they get along, I mean I don't want the Electric/Gold ones to feel lonely ..
And if I get 5 Blue Rams, would the 5th be lonely?
 
Color shouldn't matter, so different morphs should be fine together. You might have problems with aggression between males though. How large is your tank?

Aren't those for Platies, cause I heard you should keep em in pairs?
 
Rams do best when paired on a one to one sex ratio.

Otherwise they squabble with each other, even females.
 
oh sorry most fish like guppies and corys and platies and stuff need that so i thought they would to sorry for miss informing
 
Yep, rams pair up. In 32g, I don't think you want more than one pair. Unless you have lots of hiding spaces and plants to break up their territories. You could have a pair as your centerpiece and then some dither fish.

I'll create some hiding spots, I definitely want 2 pairs. I have some tetras to make it look nicer.
 
Yes thats a good idea, because they will need some other fish that will keep their attention on the other fish and not the other rams, so look for a fish that is fast moving :)
