I would try maybe putting the male in a bucket and changing the decor of the tank.

Either that or leave them separated in the same tank but allow them to see each other. When you notice that the females ovipositor (egg tube) has dropped remove the divider and see how it goes. If there is any further drama separate them again. One parent should be okm to raise the fry.

Good luck

Changing the tank decor is worth a go. I'd even tryig to up the temp a touch and 'larger than normal' water change to induce it.
