Finally some new pictures...take a look!!

nice pics! are u sure u have male/female kribs? they both look female to me ( i'm prob wrong) i know i have 2 girls and one has a HUGE pink tummy and the other one doesn't.
 
So, does anyone know why the female does what I described above?

My guess is, since she's colored up, she's displaying "courting" behavior toward him to turn his aggression into "interest." It may be that what he's doing, too, is the start of Krib courting behavior. I suspect you're going to be godmother to a bunch of little Kribs in a few weeks. :22_yikes: :)

And those are nice pictures! Thanks for posting them. :headbang2:

Yes, im sure they're female/male haha. Look at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pics. Those are the male Krib. Notice how hes not as colorful in the tummy, and his dorsal fin is really quite long and comes to a point whereas the females doesn't. Also, her tail is more round and his is more...spade shaped i guess you could say?? The pictures don't show it too well but I can notice it when i look at them. I suspected it was some kind of courting or "happy dance" as mentioned earlier haha except that she is showing more interest in him then he is to her. Thanks a lot everyone!

the picture didn't show up on my computer, but all i have to tell you is to look at the dorsal fin. The males is much more long and comes to a point. Also, the males tale is more "spade" shaped whereas the females is more round. I believe that the females also get like a lot more colorful then the males, especially if they're trying to attract a mate. Thanks for the comments!
 
Nice kribs...
