Popular Platy!!

[Sasha]

Sundance my orange platy is very popular in my 46 gallon tank. The three of my male platies constantly follow after her and even my platy/swordtail cross. The tank has 10 other female platies ( which are smaller than her), but the males only go after Sundance! Why do the males only follow her and not the others? I don't want her to get stressed with all the attention, so should I get a couple more larger female platies?

I often find my male guppies will have their favorites, but the most common female they go for is the one that is the least pregnant (makes sense). So most likely if she just had fry or needs a "refill", males will be following her like crazy.

Thanks snowyangel! In fact, Sundance is the only platy that had fry!
