not sure on ratios but if you have a colony (which I think you do have several) they should work out dominance. I have heard that many gymnogeophagus squabble amongst themselves. I wouldnt be alarmed.
i have a 2 male 1 femal ratio with my gymnogeophagus (gymnogenys) maldonado. they do just fine, a little aggression from the dominant male, but other then that not really all that much to worry about
Since you have such a big group (9 if I remember correctly) I wouldnt worry about it too much. Once they get bigger you'll forsure know their sex and then you can make the desired ratio if there is too much aggression.
