If you have him in a 10 gal he could be burrowing to try and get out of the tank into a bigger and more suitable one...

 

[az9]

yes i'm working on getting him into the 30.

switching the fish around a little bit.

Rams do "browse" meaning they sift sand and gravel in their mouths, then spit it out, while looking for food.  Thus the "mikrogeophagus" or small earth eater.  They also dig holes to deposit eggs into.  They do this by pushing the grave or sand aside with their noses, although these tend to resemble wide, shallow depressions.  Sound like any of these?
 
But yes, 10 gallons is too small for even a single ram.

 

[az9]

yeah it is a wide, shallow depression.

 

[r.w.girard]

Totally normal then.

 

[az9]

okay.

And, I know it is a hassle to hear people say it but: you really should rehouse it into a larger tank.  And you should add at least 3 more albino corydoras to the tank, even if they seem perfectly fine now.  Loaches might need a bigger group to.  So think about that\ as you move forward, yea?
