As already stated, your gardneris probably are breeding. But some questions to ask...are they old enough to breed yet? Are they old enough to produce fertile eggs? Are they in a species only tank (which would preclude other fish or inverts eating their eggs or fry)?
breeder said that they should start breeding in a week or so and its been over a month. species only tank yes but MTS is in there.
If they're old enough and there are no other critters in the tank, then make sure you're feeding them plenty (live foods and flake) and that there's plenty of plants for them to lay eggs. Keep an eye out for fry, you'll see them eventually. In my brief experience with this exact species and population, I've found that the adults actually do eat the fry if the fry don't have enough places to hide -- and trust me I've read and been told by very experienced folks that they don't eat their own eggs and fry, but my experience has been quite the opposite.
they get blood worms every evening. half a gumdrop. they have a big clump of java moss, some anachris, some rotal, some jungle vals, and a big aponogeton.
Ideally you'd put the parents in a small tank for a week or so, with lots of plants or spawning mops, then remove the adults and give the eggs around 28 days to hatch. Personally, I just keep my breeding pair in a 10 gallon tank that's almost filled to the brim with java moss and other plants and let nature take its course. I'm finding a small number of fry, even with the adults in the tank.
Also, 72F isn't bad, but gardneris would probably enjoy slightly warmer temps and it might help spur them into breeding if you upped that to 76F or so. In addition, you may want to look at your water params and make sure the pH is in the 6.5 - 7.5 range, which I'm finding to be ideal, and of course, you want ammonia/nitrates/nitrites to be low. Furthermore, the adults can handle a wide range of water hardness, but you want the hardness levels to be fairly low. What you may try doing is skipping water changes for a week or two (just keep a close eye on water params to make sure nothing spikes too high) and then do a sudden 25% - 50% water change. Sometimes that alone will induce breeding behavior, again, assuming your fish are old enough and healthy enough to breed.
cant up the temp without upping the room temp. ph is 7.5 or 7.6.ill try skipping a week of water changes.
As far as the plant goes, I can't really help. The photo quality is just a bit lacking and the plant itself is small, so it's hard to say for sure.
what exactly do you need to see in the pic specifically
