I've have one or so fish die every couple of weeks, just one by one. They stay on the bottom and breath really fast for a few days then die. So far it has only affected the platies. I have just tested the water and everything is normal. Can anyone give advice.
deaths occur in a couple of weeks

I take it you have a freshwater tank?
You might want to repost this in the freshwater sick fish forum.

Moved your thread to the fw sick fish area.
How long has the tank been set up? Has the tank been cycled? As mentioned, can you give your water parameters?
