I have bought 2 kribs, they are young but I thought I had chosen along with the shop a male and female pair. Now they are home and swimming about the tank I'm wondering if I have 2 females, the only thing that makes me think I have one of each is one is displaying to the other.... Will a female display to a female?

Kribs are extremely easy to tell apart. If you post a pic we could help you. Even if you google a pic of a M/F side hy sode and compare to yours, you should be able to tell easily. Just FYI though kribs are actually African (Old World) cichlids so if you're looking for more info you are best to post in that forum.

Yes, they sometimes do.

The one on top is a female for sure. The other one is hard to tell from that perspective but I would guess its a female too.
