Sounds like a good idea, I've had female kribs seem to completely 
abandon their spawning site only to find a mass of fry ten days after 
spawning with the "neglective" mother gaurding them furiously (with a 
little help from the male)
If you do end up buying a new male, buy it from a different store than 
the female was purchased.  Kribs unfortunately have been so heavily 
inbred, it's amazing what some fresh genes can do for the colour of 
future generations.  My kribs were not exactly prize winners, but they 
were bouht from different stores (thus different wholesalers) and their 
offspring have turned out great.
