Aggressive Guppy - 5 Gallon Tank

Hi. So I have a 5 gallon tank, which can be seen in my avatar. There are 3 guppies and a bunch of blue velvet shrimps. The parameters are perfect, and the only issue I have right now is the aggression of one of my guppies.

The yellow guppy has always followed my blue guppy with a red and black tail, while the white guppy (who moves a lot slower) sometimes joins in on acting aggressive toward the blue guppy with the red and black tail but he can never catch up. The yellow guppy has never bitten the red and black and blue guppy but I feel like he really deserves a break from the aggressive yellow guppy.

What can I do? How can I stop him from being aggressive? I do not have the option of relocating him unless its my LFS.

 

If they're male guppys, they'll do that. As long as nobody's getting injured, just let them do their thing.

Yes, they are all males. I just wish he wasn't being followed 24/7, but I guess it's inevitable! Since I have never seen any intense fighting, just a lot of chasing, I guess I should not be too overly concerned. In the future I will have a much bigger tank (after college), so I will not have to worry about this issue now. Maybe its good practice to have such a limited size tank in preparation for larger aquarium endeavors

Male guppys enjoy a limited number of 'jobs' in life (I wish we all did!)-Eat, poop, mate, repeat....

 

Like earlier stated, 3 guppies in a 5 gallon tank may pose some issues, like aggression. But, like how you stated, if there is no fighting involved, I wouldn't be worried.
