Wife called me at work to tell me that my kribs were fighting, though normally they are inseparable. I got home and the male was hiding on one side with some decent nips out of his tail while the female was with the fry (about 2 weeks old). She apparently won't leave him alone and is biting him pretty aggressively, though he appears to have gotten a few bites in as well. What should I do?

I have a 10 gallon tank that has 14 6 week old fry that the female chased out of the old tank to make room for the new ones. Can I put the older fry in the 29 gallon with the young ones and the male so the female gets the 10 gallon by herself? What options do you think I have?

BTW, all the water parameters seem ok, the wife tested everything when she saw this and aside from a slight amount of nitrates everything was fine.
 
I would post in the right part of the forum will get more help over there.
 
Get a divider, breeding cichlids do this sometimes, especially when fry are involved.
