like if i have 3 females and 2 males are the males gonna fight because I wanna bring some different genes into the tank(i currently have 2 females and one male and i have had them like 3 weeks and they havent breed and also i got them at the same time they might be siblings) or should I just wait until i get my new tank, put the old male in it, and get him some new females to make sure he doesnt breed with the ones that may be his siblings and then get my current females a new male

As long as your tank is big enough for them all then there shouldn't be any problems. You may see the males try and mate with each other though and the one not like it so much but nothing too serious. There is nothing wrong with breeding siblings to each other but if you don't want to then do whatever you want, when people want to keep a certain strain they will breed siblings and parents to children. I'm sure your current guppies bred they just haven't given birth yet, which can take around 28 days. If you want to learn more check out http://www.guppies.com/

No, male guppies don't fight, but they are taunt towards pregnant female guppies or females which just gave birth... I breed a bunch of guppies and have never experienced any guppy fighting...

no they shouldnt. guppies are schooling fish so they dont fight with each other. Now if there are less female guppies than males then the might fight over the female but its not that common. I work at petsmart and this is a question that everyone asks.

They won't fight at all but make sure too keep the ratio of 2 female per male, because your females will die from stress if they get followed all the time!

no they will be fine as long as they have the right tempreture and enough food they should be having babies in no time. just makeure that the eggs dont get eaten by the other fish if you notice that your guppies look pregnant its best to seperate them from the others.
