My friend has a pair of "Female" kribs and said that this one keeps chacing the other one all over the tank. In the tank there is lots of caves to hide in, the tank is also way big enough to keep a pair of these :)

Is there a way of adding a pic in here?

So you've worked out what sexes they are then? Males do lack the spots usualy but it's not a reliable way of sexing them. The females are plumper as well. The most obvious difference is in color as the female has a more brightly colored pink belly while the male has blue highlights on the fins. Also, the male's dorsal is very obviously more pointed and somewhat longer. If you want to post a pic, perhaps you can post more easily in the member's pics section and then link to your thread here.
