Question How many GB & bolivian rams can I put in my tank

Ok my tank info is in my sig. I will be upping the congo tetras to about 8 and the rummys to about 10. I want to mix GB Rams with Bolivian Rams in my 75g tank. How many could I safely put in? Will these 2 rams mix? I wanted atleast 2 of each but if I could put more of these together I would like to. Any info or feed back is appreciated. And check out my build so far link also in my sig.

Thing with that is that one of the places that I can get them only will take them back and wont pay or refund me any money. I need to find another place in south jersey that sells them. The place just got a bunch of babies in so there only like $6 piece but im not trying to spend $60 to return $28 worth back and not get anything in return
