big water change > raise temp > feed live food (brine shrimp/ krill etc)
 
Oh yea if that doesnt work, dim the lights and put on some Barry White.
 
hes a stunner mine lost all his colour when he died then i got him to come back alove after being dead for like over night ...
 
gunna go get some candles bottle of wine and a cd player.
 
actually just brought the temp up a lil, and noticed hes way more receptive to her. hes really been doing alot of dancing for her. but she just dosent care.
 
Feed her really good. Try mysis shrimp or live food. You will need something for the fish to lay eggs on too. If you dont have flat rocks or a nice surface for them to lay i dont know if they will. raise the temp to around 80-82 and do a nice big water change and they should breed.
 
Oh well it does look like you have a clay pot in there, also some JD's just dont like eachother and will never breed. How long have you had them together?
 
I haven't breed jd's but with my RDs I started powerfeeding them 3 times a day, and gave them lots of live food, feeders,worms, and beefheart. Frequent water changes, then I went to home depot and bought 4 new flower pots, put them all in for them to choose the one they wanted. Now they are on their second spawn in just 4 weeks.
