Get a group and let them pair up, then remove other rams. Forcing a pair together will not guarantee they breed. Also make sure water conditions are good for them.

Rams will probably eat their first few attempts, may be worth getting a seperate tank for the fry if they continuously do that

Agree with John

Get maybe 5/6 young rams and let them pair, they like higher temps once paired and softer water to breed

Bolivian rams are not so fussy on water conditions. Think mine bred at about 25C with medium hard water last year. No sign of them spawning again though
