*EDIT BY AUTHOR* I'm a beginner and I'm getting 5 guppies. So should I get 1 male and 4 females or 2 males and 3 females?? I don't mind if I have a lot of babies, I'm giving them to good homes anyway.

Short answer. Dont get five. Long Answer: You should always have 2 or three females to males. So I would recommend getting six. Do you know how to raise and birth fry? Or how to take care of them? These are important questions if you are getting different genders. Best of luck to you.

always keep twice as many females as males. If you don't, when the female gets pregnant, the male may chase her to breed again, stressing her out and may cause death.

Why does the male animal attract the females but not the female animal attract the male animals?

That is false. Male animals in most species attract females as the male does not carry babies, so it can be polygamous, as in many birds. But in several more species as well, females attract many mates to ensure her pregnancy with her urine, like cats and dogs and giraffes.
