If I have guppies, gourami and cories ... does it matter that they are all males in a 10g?????
Thanks

Right now, due to an excess of guppy fry!, I have an all male tank: 5 guppies, one molly, one platy. All but 4 of the guppys are mature. Theyve been together for a couple of weeks, no problems yet. Anyone else?

Nothing wrong with that plan except:
You most likely won't be able to keep another drawf gourami in there.
Cories are hard to tell apart as far gender goes.

I also have many more males than females. I didn't mean for it, it's just how it happened. The only ones I chose this with were livebearers, precisely because I didn't want to deal with babies (they can come pregnant and store sperm, so don't even need a male in your tank with them).
I was worrying about the possibility of a "sausage party" (how my brother put it :p: ) or testosterone raging through the tanks. But it seems like if there are no receptive females of the same species for them to fight over, they're fine.
