Any fish may fight/bite if they are in cramped conditions and/or poorly fed. Guppies are not regarded as fighters but may sometimes do a bit of fin nipping of any fish with long flowing fins including other guppies and Bettas.

Male guppies normally will. If there is a female there might be a little bit of tension for the right to mate with her.
