Is it possible to keep sword tails in a 7 gal?
I know its not ideal...but would they be okay if I stayed on top of water changes?
They're my boyfriends, but they are harassing his other fish too much so he wants to put them in my 7 gal.
there are 3 of them...two males (stupid lady at the pet store didn't listen when he asked for two females). Could I just take one of the males? would that bring down the aggression? Or should they be in groups?
Anyone have a good site for sword tails? obviously I don't know much about them

If the males are seriously injuring each other or attempting to, you should separate them. Not all male fish will absolutely beat up on another with the exception of bettas, but many can get territorial. They are not really group fish, but do well in community settings. They aren't large fish, so keeping all three in the 7 gallon should be fine.
The care is essentially the same as Platies. http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/livebearers/...
