yes...you will need luck if you wish to keep 2 rams in a 60 litres (sorry to sound rude) but its not the best idea!

rams are cichlids, they are aggressive by nature. if they pair up, they will rule the tank and bully everything else in there. if they dont pair up, the male may knock ten bells out of the female.

ohh if that happens( which i hope it wont!!) should i keep the male or the female??
if there going to rule the tank could i not get the cardinals and just get the corrys so its not assfull and then there is more room for the fish to get away??

your help is amazing!! thank you for all the help

it would be best to go with one female, even with nothing else they will still fight with each other
