Trouble in the bedroom! Kribs

[Gaz111]

I have a breeding pair of kribs since January always been a pair together but the last batch she has decided he’s not involved she’s laid the eggs as is guarding the cave but he kept coming towards her she would batter him he’s now hiding at the top far corner from her in amongst the plants looking grey and washed out. Any ideas

This is defiantly odd behavior since they have been a mated pair. It could be because the female is just protecting her eggs even from the male but I’m not sure. This is defiantly very odd see what other people say.

Is there anything else in with the Kribs? Do you have another tank he could go into while she's having a tantrum?
