It's unlikely the eggs will survive, especially the first batch, and more so if you have loaches and if your water is hard. But it is educational and fun to watch these guys guard their brood and go through the egg fertilization process.
If they do lay eggs you will likely have only a couple of weeks to wait untill they spawn again. During that time you can read up on breeding rams (you will need another tank to raise the fry, and it is not easy)
