i just bought a male and female krib, there is a pair of mollys' and one cory cat in a fully cycled 12 gall tank. it has three caves inside. It is the second day since i bought the fish and the female just hangs out in the high corner of the tank, while the male is roaming all over....is she to scared of him is it possible for them to still pair up? i've had other kribs before, but the female has never just hid out in the corner of the tank, looking like she is trying to avoid the male.....help

It will take a few weeks for them to pair up, this is pretty normal behaivoir for Kribs. The Male will pic on the female for a while until they bond. It happens with established pairs too. Mine have spawned heaps of times, but if I rearrange all the tank decor then the male will pick on the female for a while until they make up, they're just getting used to a new enviroment.
