Or you can ask a mod to move it 
(moved and combined with your other thread) Cman might know...if he's not around see if Orion knows. Until someone gets to you its always a good idea to keep doing your own research, maybe try www.google.com and see what you can find on your fish. A lot of times if you find a good article about your fish it'll have info on breeding.

The articles here might give you a start on working out what to do and how to prepare: http://cichlid-forum.com/articles/breeding_list.php
Sorry was away for the weekend. Hmm...
I know Africans will sometimes get breeding crazy and the males will bully the females trying to get them to breed again when they are carrying. The best thing i could tell you to do is to move one or the other (male or females) to another tank or divide the tank you have. I would move the males if possible to keep the stress off the females.
After a few weeks of holding you can choose to strip her (settle down guys lol) which i find pretty tricky or to let her spit the fry on her own. About this time before she spits i would put her somewhere, where you can easily gain access to the eggs to ensure their survival.
Hope i helped...some. Lotus posted a good link, as those are the real pros writing that stuff.
