agressive swordtail

I am new to this website and a beginner with fish. I have 3 angelfish and 3 swordtails ( 1 male-2 females). We noticed last night the male swordtail being agressive towards the angelfish and nipping their tails. We have a 20 gallon tank. Just curious if anyone else has had a problem with a mean male swordtail.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

welcome to fishlore!!

the 20 gal is too small for all those fish..the male is threatened and probably in breeding mode with his gals...the tank is big enough for the swords but not the angels...

Thanks- I will look into moving the swordtails into their own tank. I am suprised the fish store I got all the fish at didnt warn me that my tank was too small. Thanks again!
