well i bort 1 m platy and 2 f and umm its all cool and all but one of the female always is trying to fight her way through the strong current which is on the front right side of the tank i was wondering do they enjoy it or is there another reason the other 2 don't seem to do it they just swim under it or around it.

and the pump is as low as it can get and if i increased the water anymore it wouldn't be getting and oxygen anymore because it would be going strait into the water .

platys don't mind a decent current.

If they are getting tossed around or can't swim through certain areas of the tank, then the current is too strong. But Platys shouldn't mind a bit of current.

I have a fair current in my tank and my platies will struggle a little to swim against where the water is flowing out but they don't avoid that area at all. They seem to enjoy playing in it.. they also enjoy playing in the bubble wall.

I have a platy who never did these until one day he was right in front of the filter trying to swim in the current. I Was doing a regular tempature check and my heater was over heating it was 84 degrees i figure he was trying to cool down you may wanna check your water temp when you see your platy doing this just to be safe.
