guppy fry

Well, but I understand the angelfish is a territorial fish and can attack my
other fishs (Rasbora, neon, rummy nose)

Yep... an Angel fish would take care of those puppies pretty quickly. You
could also set up another tank and get some Oscars. Seems with your luck
breeding gups you would never have to buy any food for the Oscars! ;-)

You wouldn't need to stop feeding for any length of time..not with an
Angelfish.
Their prey drive is so strong that they wouldn't be able to help
themselves....even after a good feed.
Bettas are another great predator of live bearer fry.

Parhaps you feed your fish too much so they aren't hungry like in nature.

As with most ciclids, it's best not to have fish small enough to fit in
their mouths... :)
In the wild, neons are angel food.

Tiger barbs are also pretty good at keeping fry numbers down, but I
don't know how they'd do with your other fish. They don't get very big
[about 2 inches or so], but they are fairly boisterous and tend to be
fin-nippers. If you have room for 5 or 6 of them, they pick on each
other rather than the other fish - mostly.
