Kribensis Girl Chasing Guy

[isadorala]

Hey, I was wondering if somebody could give me a hint at what to do.

I have recently started a new 60 L tank and have added a pair of kribensis.

However, the girl keeps chasing the guy away (no fry yet).
Is it because of the move into a new home, or are they simply not getting along?


Guess the question is,
Should I give them a set amount of time to see if they will get along?
Then try changing the floorplan... (how long would you recommend for each step?)

Or, is it once her mind is made up, there's no changing it (and I should try and exchange him?)

Owww, I forgot to add, they had paired up before and had babies and everything.

Give her time, they are adjusting to their new tank and should be fine in a week or so.

Well, just a little update,

They have now worked out a truce where she's allowed the bottom of the tank, while he's allowed on the level created by overlapping anubia leaves and top.
He's such a wimp though, even my endler girls can sometime startle him

However, when they're getting fed, suddenly they're on their best behaviour, even showing themselves off to me
Guess they've just fallen in love with the person delivering the food

When they spawned before did they have a particular cave/shell, if so is that in the new home?

Is the temperature right for spawning, are they having live food?

But as suggested above it might just be give them time.
