Yes, get a small one and intro in specimen cont close to where female is.
Give 2-3 days and watch for male twitching for her.
Also watch her, is she curious, or is she slamming at male.

A local dealer gave that to me.
You can use about anything that is clear and has vents/holes.
Most LFS have spec cont pretty cheap.

Looks like the little guy got some of his talk fin bit off. Congrats on getting yours to mate, I tried the all natural way (no spec container) and the big one ripped the little one to shreds in no time, before I could stop her.
