In this video I share my thoughts on how water temperature can and will affect African Cichlid behaviour in regards to warmer water increasing aggression and breeding as supposed to cooler water reducing aggression but will also reduce breeding behaviour.
The tips I mention in the video regarding increasing or lowering your water temperature should be taken very seriously and should only be attempted if you're 100% sure and have done extensive research beforehand. If you do attempt this PLEASE do it slowly via small increments over a long period of time - MONITOR your fish closely.
I keep my water temp at 24c - 75F after many years of trail and error.

I hope you found the video useful.
Take care
Marc
