With your combinations, your tank is simply a fry-factory. You'll have
to remove the males and keep the females, or the other way around if
you want to deal with aggression. Alternatively, you can just let them
produce fry and cull the fry as necessary.

Or keep a tank with a large jack dempsey or convict - they make good
fry disposal units
