Ram cichlid spawning

[Benandjon]

Hi all,

So this morning one of the rams has laid eggs on a rock and is guarding it fiercely from the other fish. My question is this. There is uncertainty over the sex of the other Ram, thus how do I know if the eggs are even fertile? Here are some pics





This is the 'male' too, it's MUCH bigger than the egg layer, although I think that is his only male trait... What are the key differences... I will see if I can get better pics!!!

Looks like some of the eggs are fertile, so looks good, you will know if they all turn white tomorrow, then they did not get fertilized.

Cute! I hope to have a pair of Rams when my 55g is set up.
