2 male platies with only 3 females

[fishkeeping]

I went to the store to buy two more females, I started off with one male and two females, but I accidentally picked up a male. Would I need to get another female? Or can I keep it like this? Will the males fight?
My tank is also planted, though the plants aren't big yet.
30 gallons
5 platies
5 pepper cory cats
9 zebra danios
1 dwarf gourami
ghost shrimps

I wouldn't worry about it to much. I once had a tank with 2 males and 1 female and many other fish. It was also a 30 gallon. I wouldn't worry about the mollies unless one seem to have torn find or you witness fighting.

So you have 2 males and 3 females correct? If so I think you should get at least 2 more females because the males could stress the 3 females you have out so much that they die

Thank you all for the help! I'll probably return one of the males, but I don't know yet, I got attached to all of them. But either way, I'll be getting more females.
