Is this right?

I’m trying to get two convicts to breed. One is larger and darker in color. Is this the male? The other is smaller, lighter and has a reddish blush on her tummy. Is this the female? Right now I have a plastic plant pot in there as a cave, I am feeding them only freeze dried brine shrimp and I cranked up the temperature to 80 F. Is there anything else I can do to help?
It’s a 30 gallon. There aren’t any other fish in the tank. I also feed them freeze dried bloodworms. Sorry, I forgot to add that stuff.

Betta Breeding?

I have a healthy female, which i have had for several several months, and an equally healthy male betta fish. She has a large tummy (eggs) so i am trying to breed them. the only problem, mr. big stuff makes bubble nests all the time but now he wont do it. I put a styra foam cup in there and … nothing. He’s in a 10 gallon aquarium……

so whats the problem. I have brine shrimp hatcheries ready to go for the baby’s.
the temp. is around 80 degrees
