I know my stocking right now is far from ideal, i plan on tweaking it, but I noticed today that my electric blue ram was picking on everyone, even the biggest fish in the tank(which happens to be a SA geophagus) could this pose a problem where I should isolate him? Thanks.
electric blue ram beating up on my malwai and frontosas?

Your ram can't harm other fish you listed in the tank. If I were you, I would be concerned about ram's safety. When the frontosa grows, it will probably eat your ram if it's not dead already because your malawis beat up on the poor guy.
I have been planning on getting another(larger than 15 gallons) tank for my south Americans and getting rid of the frontosas when they get a little larger. At the moment all I have tank wise is a 75 and a 15 gallon with just shrimp in it. All of the fish that are in the tank right now are still really small. The ram is about the 2nd to smallest one though.(slightly under an inch)
I had a female that tormented a Satanoperca daemon (very similar to a Geophagus, it was actually a contaminant in a shipment of G. surinamensis) twice her size until I put the daemon into the sump to recover. A few months later she had doubled in size so I tried putting her back in. Next morning I found a dead female Ram. Payback is a mother as your Ram will no doubt find out!
