Aggression tends to vary from fish to fish, I've only had males bullying females, so either your fish are lesbians 
or more likely they are just fooling around. They can't do any real harm to each other, keep an eye on them and they should establish a pecking order and the fighting will stop in its own time - say a week. If they are still fighting then and its violent then post a reply and someone will try a more indepth explaination

and u r right. they aren't hurting each other 
so we'll see. do u like my avatar?

Yes your avatar is very cool
A male could be a good addition I reckon you could manage it in a 10gallon - 3 swords and 4 neons is slightly overstocked but you should be fine, if you've got test kits test for ammonia and nitrite and how long has the tank been set up because you may have a cycle in the tank- still to come.

we bought the tank on jan 23. but did not get the neons untill the next friday. we bought the swordtails a week later on the 4th and my husband tests it every friday. when we got the tank, it talked about cycling although we have not seen a significant increase in amonia or nitrate 
what happens with a cycle? what should i look for and does this cycle continue to repeat itself every so often? also my husband was thinking about getting an algae eater. what would be better a male sordtail or an algae eater? 
(I told u i was new at this.) Thanks for all your help. B)
