IMO, I wouldn't add corys, and especially not rams in with a rainbow shark. The shark is so much aggresive and territorial than a ram or cory, so I think you would be asking for trouble. Just my opinion though. I know rainbow sharks are less aggresive than red-tailed sharks, but I stills wouldn't do it. Maybe somebody else will have a different opinion.

I have a 29 gallon with a rainbow shark, a german blue ram, and 2 spotted cory's and they all get along well. On a rare occasion the shark will chase the cory's but that only last about a half a second then they leave each other alone. I would think in a 75 gallon there should be enough space to establsh their territories and leave eachother alone.
Just my experience.

at first the shark was really aggressive due that i added him to a cichlid tank and he claimed it all as his territory but after i re-scaped and re stocked he was fine with the other except when the gouramis trid to get in his cave but since i got rid of the pleco and pictus cat that owned the other caves he became really nice n never chases any1 also i added alot of -plants today too
