When I had my discus I was treating them for flukes every weeks for 2 months with permanganate potassium. This is very strong oxydizer and the baths were 4 hours at a certain concentration....very very laborious to do.
H2O2 should give you the same results, however you have to treat the entire quarantine tank or any cyst or eggs left in the tank will eventualy hatch. It would be best to dip them, then change to a fresh QT, then repeat and back into another fresh and parasite free tank, desinfecting each tank each time. Otherwise the fish will just get reinfected going back into the QT with the parasite.
