Some are easy most are hard. Zebra's and yellow lab's have to be the easyiest.

I get 100's of there all the time and the fry surive the adults fine.
Others are much harder and need to worked on to get fry and rear them.

It's going to depend on what species you are keeping, but generally having 1 male for every 3-4 females is a good start. Here's some links to get you started, oh and you might post in the African Cichlid section in the future for more expertise.
