Cleaners would kill the fish.

As to where did they come up with the idea where do they get anything they do? Someone with too much time on his hands & nothing to do.

I have a lot of problems with my skin peeling on my heels, so I think it'd be just the thing. I wonder if I could buy some fish and do it at home?

I would have a panic attack. I'm a pretty stable person normally, but the idea of underwater critters touching my body gives me heart palpitations.

I'm a swimming pool girl too! Beaches and lakes are for sports, not swimming

I completely agree!!!!!

Not that I'd do it, but I wonder what kind of fish they'd use.

How is this spelled? I would like to email a few of my friends an article about it for fun.

They probably have to take water from a specific tank that has been treated and has the same chemical levels. It would be neat to see how that worked with fish being so sensitive to change.

I used to have goldfish that would "kiss" my fingers. I wish I'd thought to put my feet in the tank... on second thought, I cleaned that tank and would NOT want my feet in that rank water!!

I'll just stick with my pumice and lotion routine with the occasional pedi.

My husband and I were talking about this last night. We were joking that we should start our own salon, and buy a bunch of piranhas and offer fishie liposuction.

At a bait shop I bet. Minnows that are sold for bait are just baby fish. You can also buy "pond stocking" fish at various locations. Our farmers co-op has "fish day" where the truck comes with various varieties of baby fish to sell for people to stock their fishing ponds. They would be quiet easy to obtain. Or you could set minnow traps in the creek and catch your own...

Okay, I should stop now, I am revealing just how much of a hillbilly I am!

It's not a great sensation.

Dead skin on your feet? That's what pumice stones are for.

I was just thinking the same thing. If I could have a bowl sitting beneath my computer so I could have my daily fishicure while plugging away at homework, it would be heavenly! When I was a kid, I remember enjoying putting my fingers in the fish bowl and having them nibble at my fingers.
