Keyhole Urgent Advice Needed

[bikerfish]

Hi All
Urgent advice needed asap please, I have 3 keyholes nearly mature and 2 seemed to have paired of and keep picking on the 3rd 1 which I think is a female. I realy do not want to get rid of her , I have had them since they were really small .
Would it solve the problem them if I was to get another 1 or possibley 2 ? my local lfs has them in at mo so not problem to get them.
Or would getting another 1 or 2 just make more of a problem ?the keyholes in lfs are verysmall at mo
 
My tank is 4ft long and 240lt and stock in there at mo is 3 keyholes , 14 cories , 1 spottedheadstander , 3 blackwidows 2 bn and 3 very young swordtails . my filter is external fluval 306 .
 
please it is not really an option to take snozle out ( keyhole ) her name is she has a pink nose

HI i  dont think my tank is big enough to hold 3 more as pretty loaded already and I know I will get attached to these as they are my favourite fish along with cories . think might just get 1 , then it might get picked on buy all 3 bigger ones , just really not sure on this as dont want to stir up more problems than have at mo

What size tank is it? If it's large enough then it should hold two pairs ok. If you do decide to get another, it's not a 100% accurate way when they're small but choose one with a longer dorsal fin and hopefully you'll get lucky.

No other tanks you could move the lone female to?
