Hi

I have four Bolivian rams in a 40g tank with a pleco and raphael catfish and I was wondering if I could get two more or would this be over stocking? If they pair could I keep three pairs in a tank if there are enough separate territories and line of site breaks?

What is the tank footprint? How planted/decorated is it to provide the line of site breaks?

36x18x18 it's medium planted with two rocks with a lot of plants around it breaking the tank into three separate areas. And as of today there are only three rams because one was being treated in the qt tank and died. But I would still like to know if I could have 6 individuals or 3 pairs

Should be OK. I have 7 in a 55 and they are fine. They seem to prefer to be in groups as opposed to pairs or threesomes.

Alright thanks I've noticed the part about the threesome two hang out all the time pretty sure they've paired and the 3rd just hangs by himself. So I'll be going to get three soon.
