TLDR
Morphological adaptations for either herbivorous or carnivorous feeding can be advantageous for mouthbreeding, and apparently no special adaptations have evolved in the mouth for this behaviour.About:

The Alimentary Canal and Digestion in Teleosts
TL;DR: The chapter discusses three methods by which the digestion rate in fish is estimated––namely, by measuring the time interval between food intake and defecation, byasuring the stomach contents at various time intervals after feeding, and by using X-rays for observing the progress of digestion with time.
Book
Diversity and adaptation in fish behavior
TL;DR: This chapter discusses anti-Predator Behaviour, which involves selection and Preparation of Spawning Site, and how that affects the likelihood of detection by Predators.

Male Parental Care in the Bony Fishes
TL;DR: The results of a survey of all families whose species exhibit parental care are presented, suggesting that the effects of care-giving on the future reproduction of the male and the male's provability of genetic relatedness to his mate's offspring are major factors in the evolution and maintanance of male parental behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of parental care in fishes, with reference to Darwin's rule of male sexual selection
TL;DR: A simple two part hypothesis is proposed to describe the sources of selection influencing the evolution of parental care in fishes, derived in part from the observation that most fishes exhibiting complex patterns of parental behavior are freshwater forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bibliography and categorization of bony fishes exhibiting parental care
TL;DR: Grouping these families into eight categories, based on the sex of the care-giver(s), reveals male parental care is as common or more common than female parental care.

The Reproductive Behaviour of the River Bullhead (Cottus Gobio L.), With Special Reference To the Fanning Activity
TL;DR: The similarities and differences between the reproductive behaviour of the Bullhead and the sticklebacks is summarised and a brief review of the way in which different fish species assist in the development of their eggs is given.
