the ram will bully and even kill the corys......especially with that size tank......it all depends on the personality of the ram, but rams are known too be aggressive towards other bottom dwellers(besides plecos/otos) especially when the tank is fully stocked or has lots of bottom dwellers........i have never experienced it with my corys because i have Large emerald corys but a giant footprint like very spacious
its up to u......but maybe just add a german blue ram which is much much smaller and way more peaceful

Hardiness doesn't matter that much if your tank is cycled and you do proper maintenance.
GBR are not way smaller or way more peaceful than Bolivians. Some people do have issues with chasing, but that usually happens when rams are a breeding pair. Some rams can be a bit more aggressive than others, but I have never ever heard of a ram killing a cory. One ram and only 6 corys in a 36g really should not be an issue IMO.its seems okay, but i see major issues with the ram and corys

Oh and it's a 29 gal.GBR are not way smaller or way more peaceful than Bolivians. Some people do have issues with chasing, but that usually happens when rams are a breeding pair.

Also, I agree with jetakockey that hardiness in rams does matter. Many people seem to have much better luck with Bolivians than with GBR who are known to sometimes drop dead for no apparent reason.
