2 of my bigger females seems to be doing this as well, I have only 1 male in the tank not sure if they're fighting for attention.

Yes, females will compete for the right to spawn with the alpha male. This can become a problem sometimes as the non-winners will often try to eat the eggs or early wigglers given the opportunity. That frees the male to spawn with them.
