Opinions about bigger cichild

[J19Reynolds]

If I get a bigger kenyi than the one I have now will the smaller on stop being so aggressive? Or would just adding a couple more same size be better?

Adding a couple more would balance out the aggresive I would think. What are the other tank mates and tank size?

What's your tank size? 30G? I don't know how many you could fit maybe just 1-2 more African cichlids.

That's why you are having aggressions issues that tank is much to small for those fish.

A 25-29 gallon is much to small for those Mbuna and is most likely a cause of your aggression. When you add Kenyi into that mix it's even worse, they are a hyper aggressive fish are not good for beginners. You have to pay very close attention to stocking ratios and tank size to keep aggression levels under control.

I want to get rid of my kenyi she is the most problems so If I got rid of her would it be ok? I can't upgrade tanks again right now

i would rehome all the fish honestly and start over. If you can't upgrade don't buy the fish that require larger tanks. That tank IMO is only suitable to smaller dwarf cichlids like rams, Kribs, shellies.
