yay! kribs are the best! 
there are lots of sites out there that detail proper conditions for breeding them... but if they are in clean water with a little cave they will most likely breed as soon as they mature.

I picked up some youngsters over the weekend. They were being kept in pure freshwater, and looked really grey, but overall had good form.
I adjusted them up to brackish water conditions, and have been feeding them an array of quality frozen foods to condition them. Their colors have come alive, and they have turned into truly beautiful fish in only a few days time.
Best of all, they are already cleaning out nesting sites, mock egg laying, etc. They are definitely pair bonded already, and I anticipate eggs won't be a problem once they are mature. I bred kribs before years ago and I'm really happy to be giving them a go again.

Hmmm.... thats quite a lot of fish! hehe
i dont know the temperments of many of those fish... but being that they are in such a large tank with lots of decoration i would almost rule out an attack from another fish.
were her eyes missing? she could have died and maybe some of the other fish were just eating her body....
and yes the male will be fine but i would opt for trying another female. its so nice to have a spawning pair
