So my four platies & their tank mates in my aquarium are about to be left alone for about a week & a half while I'm on vacation (they have auto feeders & the lights on a timer...) but my worry is that I have two female platies & two male. One male isn't going after either of the females and the other male is only going after the one female. Now I know this is not the proper ratio of male to female, but I don't want to take the risk of adding a new fish right before I leave not to mention that I don't have time! So my concern is that the one female will get pestered and die while I'm away! (from stress!) What can I do?!

Ps. My female doesn't seem to try & hide she just swims around with all of the others

put male/males in a breeders net fish can go with out food for 2 weeks

If she isn't showing signs of being stressed I would just leave them be. If you put the males in a breeder net, you will cause them unnecessary stress. Just leave them to it and they will be fine. 
I have 2 male guppies and 1 female while I wait for the 3 month old fry to get bigger, even though she gets attention from both males, she is fine, active and eats well.

Thanks I feel better now

When I mentioned putting male/ males in breeders net/nets ^ not  meant for both to go in same net as it can cause them unnecessary stress however one male in a breeders net should be fine for a week and a half and should  cause very little stress if any , why I did not mention  putting the female in a breeder net  as that it is probably graved and can cause unnecessary stress Another option  is to use a tank divider

Ya fish48 I was concidering using a tank devidor but my fish feeder can't feed both sides...

 

[fish48]

there is no need to feed fish  they can go with out food for up to too weeks.
even the lights don't need to be turned on unless you have live plants,

Ya I do have live plants, so I do need my light and I kinda wanted to try the feeders for this trip because next trip will be longer than to weeks... But ya i know they can Do with out
