clean water, good food and a good ratio of females to males. But even in less then optimal conditions mbuna can breed, all you need it a male and female.
Make sure you have at least one male and one female! :joke:
I've always noticec a tendency in these fish to breed, esp. after a water change where the new water is 4-5 degrees cooler than the tank. Never fails to put them in the mood for love!

I have never tried adding chemicals to help with spawning. But most africans(mbuna especially) dont' need anyhtign to help them breed. If there is a male and female you will have babies. Most people can't find enough room for all the babies.
like me ive got 100 red empress fry but their all going to be feeders in a month or so got to fatten them up a little
