have they paired off at all? If you have a pair remove the others.... Do a water change with just a bit cooler water. Should trigger a spawn.

If you are refering to Brichardi cichlids they are secretive spawners. Mine settled not long after I got them and before I knew it they had like 50 babies swimming. Once the babies start swimming they will start attacking other fish and keep them at bay. I have about 100 babies right now in the current batch. I got some pics on my website below. Stop by and visit it. I'm gonna use them as feeders for my future monsters
