Default Spawning Swordtail pair and Platy pair.

How can I induce spawning between my two Red Velvet Swordtails and my Sunset Platys. Not cross breeding of course, I Have a pair of Swordtails and a pair of Platys. I've heard a few different things such as adding salt to the water and temporarily lowering the water temperature. Any suggestions?
