Kribs seem to be trying to kill each other

I know they aren't Malawi but I wasn't sure where best to post this one as it's kind of an emergency.

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.

Do you think he was interested in breeding again and she wasn't? Or vice versa? I don't know anything about kribs but it sounds like they do need separated to me that's just a little too rough to be foreplay. How is the male around fry? Has he tried to eat them? Could you set up another tank? Where are you? I'd give you a 10 gallon.

I see you're in Hermitage. Too late to get anywhere near there tonight. Could you put a piece of styrofoam sheeting or something fishsafe in there to divide them off til there's another tank for him? We might could bring one out or get it there somehow.

Well, right now the female has been moved to the 10 gallon with the older fry. I'm hoping they're big enough and fast enough plus that's new territory so she might relax a bit, I'll just have to see. The male is great with the fry so I don't worry about that but if this keeps up I may need to give the female away just cause I'll run out of other options. She's just too hostile, hopefully it's temporary behavior.

I did try the older fry in the big tank with the others but they chased the young fry and the male chased them... so that's a no-go.

Thanks for the offer of the tank though, that's nice of you.
