One would assume that the brighter, livelier and more "flashy" the male is the more likely he is to gain access to a mate.

Because their population grows and their thing grows ;)
Non-sexual natural selection, such as predation, influences the appearance of male guppies by favoring traits that enhance survival rather than attractiveness. In environments with high predator presence, males may develop more cryptic coloration or patterns that help them blend into their surroundings, reducing the likelihood of being spotted. Conversely, in predator-free environments, males can exhibit brighter colors and more elaborate patterns, as the risk of predation is lower and sexual selection can thrive. This dynamic illustrates how survival pressures shape physical traits in response to environmental conditions.
Guppies are livebearers. So they don't lay eggs. Male guppies WILL eat their own baby guppies. They will eat any baby guppy they see. It doesn't matter if it's their own or some other guppies'. Male and female guppies eat baby guppies.
