That is the way it usually works for me I let the fish go in the fall until
xmas and then I have a lot to extra time to do water changes and such and
they usually spawn like crazy.

Subject: Spawnings

I seem to have accidentally hit on a way of spawning fish which don't want
to do anything. 
For various reasons, over a couple of months, I've not been able to do the
water changes that I'd have liked. Recently I've got back to doing regular
water changes and everything seems to be spawning. Maybe, for those
hard-to-spawn fish you should just let the water quality go down to horrible
levels (obviously not to dangerous levels) and then do a series of
day-by-day 20% water changes. No need for passing fronts, blue goop or
whatever:-). I've just spawned:
Laetecara Dorsigera
Laetecara Thaeyeri (approx. 150 eggs)
A. Wilhelmi (male not fully mature so eggs were infertile)
Pelvicachromis taeniatus (Wouri)
Pelvicachromis taeniatus (Keinke)
A. viejita
Of the above, the Wouri, Keinke and Thaeyeri (spelling?) were first spawns.
