As expected, eggs have been laid. I documented the entire process, as I just happened to be listening to music and watching my fish at the time. I have to say, this was one of the most fascinating things I've ever watched. I could easily see the female deposit eggs and then the male flutter over them to fertilize them, then the female would swoop in again to drop more eggs, and the male would mimick her path in totality to get as many eggs as possible. It seems Blue Rams spawn more readily than Convicts for me! Wild caught, none the less.. I'm quite impressed with myself. =P I'm not expecting these to live, as Rams are notorious for eating their first batch, but after the first spawn, it's generally true that the pair will lay eggs like clockwork afterwards, each time gaining experience. However, if these do survive, I will be surprised, as well as excited and happy. 
So, here's some pictures from the spawning process, and videos as well at the bottom!
