Given the size of your tank, if you provide plenty of cover, they'll be more inclined to avoid your barbs nipping their tails. There is definitely the possibility of them harrasing the Platy's due to them being from the livebearing 'family' so to speak. Again, with plenty of cover/hiding places, that behaviour can be reduced.
