Well my platy had been majorly stressed out and had poor water for a long time (well not long...but a couple days) and happily had even more fry in about 4 days after I got the tank set up. I was moving and kept having to transport my fish in an ice chest with no light for hours. Plus I forgot to tell my dad not to feed them before he brought them here, so they had an ammonia problem to deal with too.

I don't know about the actual pairing up, since mine was pregnant when I bought her. But I think if you keep the tank clean, and ammonia, nitrates etc, at a reasonable level platies would be happy.
