Is it a bad idea to mix 2 rams?

[honeysuckle11]

Hi everyone. I have a 30 gal tank. I have 3 guppies, 3 glo fish, 4 serpea tetras, 1 pleco, and a 1 german blue ram. I like to get a electric blue ram for my tank. Do u think that the 2 rams will fight each other or nib at my other fish? I have a tond of hiding spots in my tank for them both. I know im adding more to my school to but just want to ask before i decide on what to do? Thanks for all your help ahead of time.

The electric blue ram is a color morph of the german ram.

I am looking at the bio load already in your tank and am concerned about the pleco. The bio load of a pleco is about twice of a similar sized fish. Unless your pleco is something like a clown pleco or a pitbull pleco then you are over your bio load.

Remember they are cichlids and do fight amongst themselves possibly stressing other fish and causing health problems for them as well.
