Breeding platies
I bought 6 sunset platies from my local fish store last week. 5 females and 1 male. One of the females already had babies a couple of days ago. The babies are in their own tank right now until they get bigger. My question is that will the male go from female to female mating with different ones or will he just stick to one?

He may pick a favorite but chances are he won't stop with one. Thats why is good to have more females then males....so he won't harrass one to death.

They only problem with just one male is that you won't get much variety with the fry.
