Do cichlids have a breeding "season"?

My Malawis have been breeding in community tank- wondering if they will keep doing so all year round or is there a breeding season. Peach zebras are at it mostly - one of the three males I bought turned out to be a girl :facepalm:

In the wild, probably, but in a tank, no. Like smidey says they do tend to go in cycles, but this is likely more related to tank conditions drifting(Which may be indirectly due to hotter or colder summer weather) or to the fish condition worsening while breeding and needing time to recover.
