I have a pair of Ap. hongsloi where the female had her fry stolen by another female and proceeded to spawn in the original cave 4 days after the previous fry had become free swimming. I've also had some F1 nijsenni who were egg eaters so (as insurance only - I do not do this if I can help it) I removed the cave, 5 days later they were on eggs again - and this time they kept them too. Rams will spawn every 7 days if you feed them properly too I think it is dependant upon many things, not least the age of the fish (younger the better) and quality of food - frozen bloodworm and baby brine shrimp seems to work well. I'm guessing most of the experienced apistophiles have experienced this anyway.
