Default Maybe get a Blue Ram?

I will be getting a 30 gal tank soon, and am seriously thinking about getting a pair or trio of Bue Rams. The only other fish I would have in there are adult male guppies(10-15), and maybe 3-4 corys (still thinking on corys).
Anyone have any suggestions on how this might work out?

If this is your first ram I'd probably go with a Bolivian Ram. They
are a little more hardy, but not quite as colorful.

I've never had blue rams only because the LFS guy tells me they are
very sensitive to water conditions.

Just my $.02

Thanks! I think my ideas have changed. Sure it's not as colorful, but it is kinda cute!
