I am planning on getting a bolvian/german blue ras but I am unsure if it would get along fine with neons, cherry barbs or bronze cories? Just one by the way

Okay, Rams are not in the same family or group as Neon Tetras. Neons are Tetras (Characidae) and Rams are Cichlids (Cichlidae). In a 10 gallon tank, the close proximity of the fish and lack of territorial space may bring out a lot of aggression from the Rams, leading to chasing, nipping, and other bullying. I would suggest worrying about increasing your school sizes before considering a new species for the tank.

EDIT: Cherry Barbs are very sedate and will eat filamentous hair algae. The only Barbs that I would worry about attacking the Ram would be Tigers, but seeing as you don't have Tigers, the Cherry Barbs' aggression will be the least of your worries.

Hi!
I LOVE german rams and they are really special to watch in a tank but they can be quite delicate and you should get some females to go with the male.
A bolivian ram is a bigger ram and is not a good idea with german rams. Both fish are VERY territorial.
Your neons and corries will be fine. The cherry barbs will have to be watched for aggression though. They should be ok as long as they make their territory away from your rams.
You need some more info on this like how to sex the fish properly.

From my experience they are completely peaceful. The only aggression that I have seen out of my Rams was towards other Rams. I have kept Endlers, Tetras, RCS, Ghost Shrimp, Amanos, Gouramis, and Killis with these fish. But that is just my experience and opinion. Each fish has its own disposition. Rams are sensitive to sudden changes and are deathly allergic to water that is not up to par, so to speak. If you have a good water quality, and keep up on PWC's your Ram should have a long healthy life. Good luck

no they will not kill neons as they are from the same family they will also get on perfectly well with barbs and coryies.
Personally i would get more than one of each ram they are a social fish and will love to live in a small group of maybe 3+ but remeber not two males as they will fight and end up killing or badly injuring one another.
Make sure the neons are in a group of 6 or more as number are better that singles, also provide the other fish fish plenty of retreats in case of some distruption the other fish can get away and hide if needs be.

No. I'd be more worried about the barbs attacking the rams!
