For quite a while now, all my cichlids stopped breeding. I had yellow labs breeding, and convicts breeding all the time. For a month or so I noticed that they dont breed any more. what could be causing this?
thanks
 
Maybe they're bored. They need to spice it up or do some role playing. :)

Add some fish handcuffs or some rope and you'll be set.
 
I have no scientific explanation for it, but I've noticed my fish breed a lot more in late winter and spring and less in summer. Heat is not an issue.
 
best of luck, when i notice anything different big or small, i always do a nice water change, and clean out my filters,
changes in water temps usually entice them to breed anyways bring the water down a bit not up, and well see how it goes,
again best of luck, and keep us updated
