They were placed in there after a session in the rain chamber. The puddle after the thunderstorm so to speak. Male started calling that evening and entered amplexus but the female wasn't ready.

I had the same problem when I tried to breed my tomato frogs. The male call would all night, making sleep for me difficult. I saw him grasp the female in amplexus several times over, but nothing ever came of it. After a rough night of trying to sleep I would check the rain chamber the next morning to discover nothing. After a while I gave up and reconfigured the chamber into a tadpole raising tank for the numerous red-eye tadpoles I have.
Exactly, it is all about trying to figure out what is needed to condition females properly and get them to lay eggs. In some species it isn't that hard but in others it is a real challenge without resorting to hormone injections.
