Hi all,
I have a 50gal tank that started off with some fancy guppies, a mix of m/f. Needless to say they were breeding like bunnies and I was rehoming groups of them every few weeks. I tried to cut down the population and figured if I only kept males that I'd solve the overpopulating issue. That worked fine for a few weeks but now the males are turning aggressive towards each other. There is 10 of them in the tank. My question is whats the best way to handle this? Should I rehome a few more and only keep say, 3-4? Or will they still get aggressive? Is it better to get some females and just let them breed again? I have a few angels in the tank as well which I was told will eat the fry so should I just kinda let nature take its course? Advice is appreciated!
 
I have a tank with only males they aren't aggressive accept for showing of to each other every once in a while
