bump and also...are they considered a pair when they are showing breeding behaviour towards eachother or when they actually spawn?

Well if they stay by each other a lot with no problems they are pretty much paired. Once they have spawned they are a "proven pair".
Well in that case mine are a pair but not a proven pair 
does this mean that it's likely that they'll breed at some point?

Well, the fact that they are kribs makes it likely. Do you have caves for them? They are hidden brooders, which means they want privacy.
Do you have caves for them? They are hidden brooders, which means they want privacy. I had a 20 gallon long set up for mine. In the fall, I grabbed a ton of oak leaves.. To the point where it was a thick layer across the whole bottom, plus i made some coconut caves for them and they bred after cold water changes, or pretty much every couple weeks.. It was my freshman year of college so i was pretty busy so only like two batches were able to make it too the LFS for sale. You could trying buying some almond leaves online.. and make your own coconut caves.. Makes it kinda fun! :grinno:
Yeah I would say they are a pair if they are staying by each other.
A coconut cave should work, but how big is it?
1 more Question, what 1 is bigger the male or female krib?

Good question, females prefer larger males (this a family site?). Seriously though if the male is closer in size to female she won't be as receptive and may also be aggressive to him.
The cave isnt that big but neither are the kribs tbh. The male is perhaps about 1cm or 1/2 bigger than the female.
