Answer
Hi Ragav,
  Like any large cichlasomine type cichlid, you need a large tank with some hard spawning surfaces.  You could use a very large flowerpot, with the bottom knocked out, lying on its side, or a piece of clay tile or a large piece of slate.  The fish are looking for something hard and relatively smooth on which to attach the eggs.  

  If you provide that, have a male and female, and give them lots of good, clean water, eventually they should spawn.
