Would the Ram cichlid be compatible in my aquarium?

just wondering, id love a pair of rams and currently have a well planted 33 gal with 2 emperor tetras, 6 glowlight tetras, 4 danios, 2 corys. everone gets along but the larger emperor who nips fins and acts like hes a super hero defending "his" aquarium from evil.
 
They should work out ok. Before you add Rams though, I'd add more corys, they like to be in larger groups. 5-6 is a good starting point :)

If you have nippy fish, Rams will not last long. I would beef up the tetra schools. At least 6 of each species. Having more emperor tertras may lessen aggression.
