Check out the profile for Rams in the Fish Index section. Do a search for Rams in the New World Cichlids forum.

I have a 29-gallon planted tank and added two Rams on Monday. I just love 'em Last night, I posted a couple pictures of them in the Member's Aquarium and Fish Photographs forum. Also in the 29-gallon, I have Neons, Otos (for algae), a SAE (for algae), one Guppy, Kuhli Loaches and Corys.

rams are slow gentle feeders so i dont think they'll go well with the boisterous giant danios

Yep - it's not the rams you need to find tankmates for, it's those giant danios. I wouldn't add rams to that tank. A BRISTLENOSE pleco and a few rosy barbs would be better. You could also try the bristlenose with some swordtails (keep only one male though). Another option would be a single red tail black shark with those danios and nothing else. The last, IMO, would be the most interesting.
