Kenyi siblings in a 55

[Soggy]

I have 15 sibling Kenyi cichlids that are around 2 inches in a 55 gallon tank along with a single Johanni. I like the fish and all is fine so far but I'm wondering if this is going to be a problem. The males have recently started turning yellow and it looks like at least 8 or 9 (maybe even more) of them are male. So far no obvious aggression but I've already had 1 tank full of cichlids go battle royal on me and I'd rather avoid that happening again.

At this point don't take out any males. If anything, make sure your doing your water changes and maybe add some females as you start to see spawning behavior. Hopefully more females will distract the most dominant males from each other as they get older. Eventually you will need to cut back on the # of kennyi
