Hmm, in my experience it is the other way around. I would monitor them to make sure no injury is being done.

Some male livebearers can be downright nasty. Not sure what your tank stocking situation is but adding a few more of their own kind can at least help curb some of that aggression.

Ever notice in the Bible, whenever God needed to punish someone,make an example or needed a killing, he sent an angel? Ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? An existence spent praising your God, but always with 1 wing dipped in blood. Would you really want to see an angel?

Just curious... how large is your tank, and how many/what kind are the occupants?
