Re: Losing platy one at a time and more frequently

Sorry to read about the other platy. That must have been an especially difficult decision to make if she was still accepting food.
Yes, sterilisation with bleach is the best option. If I were you, I'd get rid of the filter media and the sand from the quarantine tank and possibly any decor such as silk plants. I'd probably use the eSHa 2000 (the info leaflet states 25 drops per 100L for disinfecting purposes). Then, to be doubly certain of disinfecting everything, use bleach (a quick google search suggests the dosage) and bleach the filter, heater, siphon, nets and anything else that had contact with the quarantine tank and its inhabitants. After rinsing thoroughly several times, use an overdose of dechlorinator on all of this to be even more certain of getting rid of any bleach ie fill the tank with water and an overdose of dechlorinator with all this equipment in it.
