Using H2O2 may not be as crazy as it sounds, but it was really bad advice imo. There is testing currently being done on using it to cure Velvet and Ich. It has shown promise doing 2 x 30min dips in a 75ppm H2O2 solution a few days apart.
Interesting, I may try a small experiment at home stop by a couple fish stores see if I can find a sick fish talk them down in price , and give it a try. I have kept fish and some corals for many many years ( Oh Dang I am getting Old LOL ) I have 2 QT tanks I think I will give it a try. I have always had good luck with copper but is might be interesting just to see how it goes. I almost have to stay off FB now people really do some dumb thing to fish, I feel sorry for some of the people and advice I see, kind of stressful lol Thanks I will wait on your results tooThe problem with H2O2 is it doesn't remain active in the water for very long. So ich theronts & velvet dinospores will slip through the cracks in-between dosages. However, being H2O2 is an antiseptic it has great potential to become a practical alternative to using acriflavine for temporary relief of velvet and for providing "first aid" to fish with bacterial infections. I plan on doing extensive testing with it once my "lab" is up & running at the new house.
Do you expect this to be a challenge?
I have 3 LFS within 45 minutes of me and at least 2 of the 3 have velvet right now!

Just ask whatever store near you if they run low levels of copper in their systems. If they do, you can almost be guaranteed that their fish have either ich, velvet, or both. The low levels of copper just mask the symptoms while they are on display.
Not mine! The tanks are currently empty and they have stopped selling marine fish. umm.. because of velvet...If you are looking for a fish with velvet, most Petcos can accommodate that request.
