I alter my temps throughout the year on my breeding project tanks. Many species benefit from a winter cool down and trigger their annual spawns with the warming from winter temps. My silver aros spawned after a winter cool down from their usual 80F dipped down to 68-70F. (Although, truth be told, I realized the benefits of altering temp by accident. My aro tank was in the front of my shop which never got as warm as the heated fish room during winter months).
Nowadays, it's easy to find these temp triggers via the internet. Many weather bureaus, world-wide, monitor their local water temps daily so, it's relatively easy to match aquariums up to the seasonal changes the species-of-interest evolved in when attempting to induce spawning in problematic species.
