Gold Ram fighting with new A. cacatuoides pair

[Jshafer81]

I've just purchsed a pair of A. cacatuoides for my 29 gallon community tank. The tank has angels, gourami, tetras anda pleco. The new pair seem to be getting along fine with these fish, but they immediatly started fighting/sparring with my golden ram. The ram now seems to have intimidated the pair and they are nipped at and swim away. I've tried rearranging the tank in several ways. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this incompatibility or has any suggestions on how I might remedy it without removing the ram.

thanks,
Justin
