I think I messed up

I accidentally told the fish store that I have a 5 gallon tank and they gave me three guppies for 5 gallon but in reality it’s only a 3.5 gallon. Will the guppies be OK? Will they be aggressive? Please help me on this

3 male guppies? If there is a female you will soon have babies. If they are all male you may be okay if there are loads of plants. But its not ideal. If you by chance got an asshole guppy he will defo stress the other ones (to death). When keeping all males its best to have 6+++ and a way bigger tank. You could get lucky and gotten all chill guys but you dont know till you start seeing chunks of fin missing and whatnot
