They look like wild caught ocellaris - nice pair.
If that's the tank you want to have them spawning in I would add some rocks and caulerpa or other macro algae. Maybe also some shrimp. Anything that gives them a bit variety.
Maybe also a hardy anemone like a H. malu. I have one that seems to like the light of a Philips Daylight LED bulb, it almost doubled in size within weeks.
If it was my tank I would probably also add another (pair of) fish (gobies, damsels,...)
I know that most commercial hatcheries use naked tanks like this - mostly for convenience reasons - but it isn't good for the metal state of the fish. After a while they become dull and develop stereotypy syndrome.

I am not doubting you, but how d u kno they are wild. This could explain their behavior and feeding. And why they are so reluctant
