Kissing gourami with blue ram

Question
Alright here are the stats on my tank
-30 gallon tall
-set up for a couple months
-MANY plants
-2 loaches, bichir, 2 kissing gouramis

Alright well this is what I've thinking of putting in my tank.  I already have to kissing gouramis and they seem to ignore everyone but themselves and I want to put 2 Blue Rams in the tank but I don't know how they will get along.  The gouramis and bichir I plan to move into a 40 gallon but they are too small to be with those tank mates right now.  My question is can a blue ram live with a kissing gourami?  I have heard that people have done it before but I want the A okay before I actually go ahead and buy the fish.  Also I want to know if blue dwarf gouramis will go with the kissing gouramis.

Thanks for your time

Answer
Hi Mike... all of those fish should get along just fine... you may encounter some aggression due to new fish and the pecking order but they should work it out ok... just make sure that you feed them plenty the first couple of days... Keep me posted... dave
