I thought rams paired....

I recently won a group of sapphire rams at an auction. The group ended up being 1m 3f and the male ended up spawning with all 3 a week later. I always thought rams pair bonded is this fact or would they lean toward a harem if there is enough space?

I have the same thing happening in my tank with 1m 2f GBRs, the only issue is that no fry survive as the females now eat each others eggs. The poor male doesn't know which side to choose so he just gets out the way and watches the carnage.

I'll be moving my "spare" female soon. The male does still have a "favorite" between the two so the pairing thing still applies to a lesser extent.
