Mixing Rams of same sex

[MarkPT]

I have 2 German Rams (initially bought as a pair, but turns out to be both female!) who get on great and swim around together.
Also have a Male Apisto, and male Fire Red Agasizzi.

Can I add compatibility wise, an Electric Blue ram to the mix, if also female? Will she likely form a trio with the other 2 rams or could it cause a bit of upset, and not worth risking the social pairing?

Hard to predict. Cichlid social dynamics are complex, and individual personalities and behaviors vary. Adding another female is probably safer than adding a male, but be prepared to intervene if necessary (move somebody to another tank). Also, a temporary divider sometimes helps them get used to the sight and smell of a new fish, and hopefully reduces the urge to fight the new intruder.
