The one problem I've noticed with breeding pairs - since the male broods the young in his mouth - he goes long periods without eating. I think breeding pairs almost need to be separated so as to let the male regain some strength before broodstocking the next batch. Too often I heard of people breeding Banggai's that end up losing the male of the pair because he basically starves to death.
