The stuff we used in her lab was a 35 percent solution, but she did something and made it a 40 percent solution.. I thought all she did was extract some water out of it through steaming.. I will ask her. Anyway we dosed it to the fish as a dip for 30 minutes in SALTWATER. The fish didn't like it much at first, but settled down after about 5 minutes. Breathing rates calmed down a lot. They are still alive today and are eating and color has come back. They were literally on their death beds with velvet. Not eating, laying on the side. Anyway, I will get more information for her and I will keep you posted about my fish. She was telling me the same thing that h202 is a very strong disinfectant and the higher solution 35 to 40 percent ones kill stuff very fast. I will get exact info for you guys!
