Platy cross breeding

Will Platys of 2 different types breed? I have a male blue coral and a female red platy and 10 fry from the blue coral and his partner which has since passed away. Will i get more fry from the blue & red mixing or am I going to need to have to remove him?

the red doesn't doesn't look it, the one that was pregnant died,she was quite fat, the red platy that i still have is slim, very slim.

the male blue knows I am not happy with him, he has gotten to hiding from me.
I have a total of 8 fry that are approx 1/4-1/2 " long and tonight noticed a few (3 or 4) smaller ones as well that were probably born before their mother died and just came out of hiding, they look a few weeks old.

I will have to figure out their gender soon and remove any other males I find

Seems like they can.

The blue platy we have in our tank has the "Mickey Mouse" marking on one side of her.
