I've heard that a sudden drop in temperature in your aquarium will get your fish to breed easier. Is that true with Africans? If so, my temperature is at about 77°F. To what temperature should I drop it to?
 
There are a few different theories of triggering spawning. Dropping of temp is one that I haven't heard, and sounds like something I would avoid doing myself. With cichlids a very large water change or series of water changes will often do the trick, but more often then not proper conditions and clean water alone will do the job.
 
I would not drop the temp, instead I would do a large water change @50%. This always promotes spawning for me.
