sexing them isn't to bad, really? but i have a dom male in a tank and when i added 3 new ones(1 male, two female) he went crazy, and while in the bag one of the females went crazy on the others so i let her go and put the others in a breeding ttank. they are good for breeding well the ones i had are 3-5 inches.

I am pretty sure female kribs have a purplish pink belly and males have yellow...at least that's the way it was with my old pair of kribs(female didn't make it even one week though

Kribs usually do breed very young. Maybe 2-3 months after they are born they can breed I think.

males can have a pink belly BUT when a dominant female colors up she will be pink and purple and wonderful colors
so if you have a group and OHHHH the male has pointed dorsal fins too but also yes the dominant female will color up quite a bit.
males are larger than females too!
