Am I Full?

I have a 55 gallon, with the fish listed below in my sig. Its got a few live plants, overall a nice enviroment. I would like to add perhaps a cory and a blue ram. Do I have room?

tbh adding just 1 cory is a bad idea, they need to be with a few of their own, the VERY minimum being 3-4 but 5-6 is preferable.

So with this in mind, you could add a ram, though they are massively sensitive and you'd need to research them a bit first i've been putting off buying ram for months because of how sensitive they can be.

Well, I plan to add a gold guorami to complement the blue as well as a blue ram. I just need to get my ph down first... its 8.2, far to high for a blue ram.

You should not be keeping an albino and a black red tail shark together as these fish will become increasingly aggressive towards each other as they grow and will probably end up killing each other, also the weather loach will not thrive in a tropical tank as it is really a coldwater/sub-tropical loach that needs a deep soft sand substrate to bury itself in. You have a lot of shoaling fish which you are not currently keeping in high enough numbers, i would personally advise avoiding buying any new types of fish, but instead sorting out the issues in your current fish stocking.

How aggresive are you barbs and shark, because all the fish in your tank look to be a little aggressive, and would need companions who can stand up for themself.
The lone cory and ram might get beat up.

I don't think a ram would fair well in a tank with bulling fish they are very sensitive.
