Male fighters tend to only attack fish which they consider to be a threat to
their masculinity, ie anything with fancy tail fins, or anything small
enough to be considered food.

Avoid guppies, paradise fish, anything with pretty fins.

We have a male in our non-aggressive community - swordtails, gouramis,
danios, pl*co, loach, and a couple of mollies - and he's just fine.

We had a tetra in there - until the frog ate him - and the fighter wasn't in
the least bit interested in him.

We tried putting him in the livebearer tank for a bit, but he went apeshit
and chased all the smaller fish around so we put him back in the community
tank.
