Do you water change and get your water conditions back to ready for breeding, then follow Carols advice. Give them some space to do their thing and be a little patient.

They may not be mature enough yet. and it may take a couple of times to get it right. Now would be a good time for a good water change.

If their not damaging each other I would just do water changes, feeding etc the same as usual and leave them alone.
