Krib Need Some Info

[foxycatfish]

Hi all im after a bit of help.
I have a great pair of kribs they have been in breeding tank now for about a month.
last night about 12.00am the female was at top of tank almost on her side!!
i did a quick test on water and every thing spot on.
so did a water change to see if that would help?
went to bed with fingers crossed
got up this moring and checked on her and she was back to normal
now both kribs are doing what looks like a love dance thingy!!
Any ideas folks

Frisky female kribs flirt by going up to the male, showing him her belly, and arching into almost a U shape. They can be pretty aggressive about it. Their bellies also get to be a very intense red to purple color.

I remember having a female who kept displaying to an uninterested male, so I wonder if he was just too young to know what he was supposed to do. They eventually figured it out.

Fish don't have sex-ed in their schools, so sometimes it takes them a few tries to get it right.
