I haven't spawned them as I can't keep weight on the females - I suspect my 
water is too warm at 78-80 F.  As far as male-male aggression is concerned, 
they weren't actually aggressive, but if they saw each other they'd display 
for ages, to the extent of ignoring food (even live midge larvae) so to get 
them in condition I'd seperate males. 

As it is fairly easy to provide females with caves the male can't get into 
theres no reason why pairs wouldn't work - and of course the pair in the 
community tank will spawn first ;-)
