I would do serveral water changes, the chlorine remover and heavy aeration
for a few days. I recall using bleach in a production system for Chinese
Catfish for cleaning hatchery between spawns. It worked well, but the
bleach might have changed chemical composition since then. Might want to
check pH and adjust with an acid buffered solution to neturalize any
residual OH.
