[GSAS-Member] Cichlid breeding seasons?

[Matt Staroscik <matt@wrongcrowd.com>]

The tramitichromis intermedius that I got at the auction must be feeling 
frisky. His color 
has intensified, sometimes he digs a hole, and he keeps the other cichlids in 
the tank away 
from his territory. (He mostly ignores fish that don't look like him.)

I've never owned cichlids before, so I was wondering... how does the fish know 
when breeding 
season is when he is in an aquarium? Or does it kind of happen randomly? I 
googled the topic 
but couldn't find much besides one reference to the April rainy season.

Guess I have to shift gears to anabantoid mode for the meeting now...
