My pair of Bristlenoses used to without fail breed every 4-5 weeks.
But they have not bred for about 6 months or so. What can I do to rekindle the passion?

yeah, new male or females.

either that or it might just be that it is now not their breeding season and you need to work harder to trigger them

You should be able to tell by your fishes behavior what is going on. Is the male still caving? Are the females getting nice and gravid? When the females look gravid enough are they spending time around the males cave?

As Kfenk pointed out, you must learn to read their behaviour.
But it is possible that they "rest" a bit. I had the same thing for 4 months, and after that, all went back to normal.

Keep us informed, please.
