I have changed substrate before with the fish still in the tank. Sometimes over a period of a few days if the water gets too cloudy to see well.
For spawning, a flower pot is fine, but they will use any convenient surfaces (flat rock and so forth).

I do see a female in the picture, the one with the blue on the gill plates. In my experience, they are large enough for a spawn.

What size tank are they in and what temp are you keeping the water?

The tank currently is a 45 gallon and I have the water temp at 78
