I have everything set up proparly and my female is full of eggs and ready, but my male is not flaring or even having any interest in her. I'm wondering if I should use a different male? He is healthy and young, but has no interest in the other fish. I placed them in the tank a couple hours ago and she is in her own seperate area where he can see her and he is able to see another one of my males, but he is still not showing any interest.
I have placed another male on the outside of the tank and they can see each other but he is not flaring at him either, but the other male is.

He has also has not started a bubble nest.
 
You could try putting a mirror on the outside of the tank, and when the male flares, pull it away. That way he'll think he has to compete for a female. That might make him more interested in breeding. Also, has your male started making a bubble nest yet? If he hasn't then he probably isn't ready to mate yet.
