Well, not to each other...
Platies are live bearers. Most breed readily as long as an appropriate gender ratio is present. Raising the fry depends on providing adequate hiding places, or removing the adults and other fish that may eat the fry.
Danios breed readily--it's getting the eggs to avoid predation that can be a challenge. What works best is to have a tank with internal filtration (gentle flow) and large rocks or marbles for substrate. Condition the fish in another tank, then move into this tank for a week or so. Remove the adults, and then monitor the tank for wrigglers.

Dwarf Sunsets will breed on their own. I just had one have her fry (sadly my cory cats ate all of them but one before I found out) and I have another one due anytime now.
As for Zebras, I know very little about. I have a school of the glofish danios but haven't had any egg laying though I really haven't been trying nor really care if they do breed LOL
