Did you condition them beforehand? did you tempt and tease him? Unless she has her stripes, she isnt ready to mate....
If you have given them enough time and there are no eggs being produced with the embrace I would remove the female for her protection. Leave her where the male can see her but not physically get to her then try again in a day or so and see if you don't get a better result.
Some couples require a longer courtship period than others before the actual embrace.

Did you place the female in a separate container inside the males tank where the male could see her before you put her in the tank physically with him?
How long did you wait after you put the female in with male?
Did the male build a bubblenest and is the male and female faring at each other and looking interested in each other?

Well guys, everything is going better today because the male has a huge nest under an Indian almond leaf and the female is finally expelling eggs but not while they are embracing. She's just expelling them just to expel them. What does this mean? I'm so close again.
It probably just a timing issue or a new pair that didn't quite get it right this time. If you don't have any success this time separate them again condition the male and female with great foods and in several weeks they will be ready to try again.
Chances are they will spawn for you.

If shes letting out the eggs your going to have to separate them [dont let them see each other] and condition your female and male for abot 1-2 weeks until you see that the female is full of eggs again and then try again and hopefully this time they will spawn for you.
