Yes, we paid to have fish eat off our dead skin in China

[jamesvonwald]

I got plenty of dry skin to feed them, I hope I can take a trip to a fish spa.

[ThePrinthead]

A very insightful post. Thanks for the info.

[Izzywizzylove]

lolz love the song

[SupaaSweetApril]

Oh there having that at my local hairdressers, £1 a minute,, sooo cheap! lol

[soph60]

the fish obviously fancied a chinese takeaway that day

[BeautyBabeBiebzz]

@soph60 wow that's racist.

[SPNC0615]

after that the fish makes it on your dinner plate, thanks china!!!!

[lndac02]

I know lets put our feet in a fish tank where the last person in the water had Verucca's or Psoriasis and the fish were dining on these delicacies when they spat some of the contents into the water.........oh by the way, chin chin can draw blood! fancy bathing your feet in the water some unknown person has bled into? Good luck!

[leanneDCfan]

im getting this done today with my friends, im scared and excited lol:)

[GodHonestLie]

ew gross! i would not let them things near my foot

[zena290609]

woah these are big garra rufa!

[lndac02]

@zena290609 they aint garra rufa fish they are much cheaper chinese "knock offs" called chin chins which when big enough bite. Garra fish cannot bite. btw I keep garra fish

[zena290609]

@lndac02

ah ok. i did this with garra rufa. i wouldn't like ones that bite i don't think cos garra rufa just suck at the dead skin

[lndac02]

@zena290609 Zena even with pedigree Garra,I really would be careful. its nots the fish its self, which really are great little fish. its the water in which they swim. if I had a bath, would you want to jump in my bath water after me? This is really what you are doing except there happens to be fish in the water. People carry all sorts of skin ailments which have no effect on the fish, but could infect the next person in the water. Get a small fish tank and keep a few, great pets easy to keep.

[zena290609]

@lndac02

i didn't think of that, thanks. but also it's like in a swimming pool loads of people go in there. i guess it doesn't matter cos of the chlorine but ah well.

[lndac02]

@zena290609 Hi again,You answered your own question Zena. Thats why good swimming pools put Chlorine in the water. Garra swim in un-chlorinated water, hence the risk of catching something nasty from the previous bather. This is a fad and hopefully it will soon fizzle out

[DramaQueenOnly16]

lmfao tht was ace, i had my first experiance today but it only cost us £8 for 40 minutes i lovedd it.. it was amazin, tickled a little mind.. x

[shortyshel]

That looks gay and how much was it andwhat did it feel like

[MrGreen134]

what if they would mistaken and put piranhas instead of those in da pool...

[flipper10158]

scary

[jeweladdict72]

chin chin are tilapia aren't they? those look like juvenile tilapias anyway. imagine you can be self sufficient with a tank of those feed them/footspa daily and then when theyre nice and big you can cook em lol

[bla7091]

it's like having maggots clean out a wound, they're probably more accurate than a surgeon else they wouldn't use them

[hasher22]

Wouldnt it be better just to pay $3 for a exfoliating glove and just rub off the dead skin.....easy...

[JadyFortuna]

I think those are fake Garra Rufa also known as Chin Chin fish. You can see the original ones in Turkey. Some pictures of the real one can be found on the Aqtropical website

[killdog102]

@JadyFortuna Chin Chin and Garra Rufa are both different fish, Chin Chin can actually cause damage to skin when they reach 6cm, As Garra Rufa are toothless unlike Chin Chin.

[numbuh124]

tried this in Thailand and China, fun fun.

[VoodooSmash]

do they eat calus ? if they do i so want to do this

[czarnaxxx34]

[ojewel]

I would like to do this. But, they have one in Alexandria, Va.

[crock703]

Where? I live in Springfield.. I wanna check out the Korean spa in Centreville

[linutas]

[sonicgrl9]

[luckynumber58]

OMG! THATS FREAKING SCARY!

[renski202]

how mch money did u get

[luckynumber58]

they paid...they lost money

[liveworldwide]

that is tilapia

[kikubrid]

Check the one at princefish out

[sm1l3ylol1i3]

do your feet smell fishy after that??

[megaman2160]

you mean to tell me fish eat human dead skin?

[Dimunic]

:/ they do. but they should be fed more than just human dead skin...

[fatpig55]

They say it's very ticklish lehh .

[tes75]

Just like an outbreak of e.coli in michigan lake. And they claim they are a clean country. Look at the mirror guys before you say that US got pretty good sanitation laws.

[connie59do]

These fishes are bigger than the one I saw.  These must have been well fed.

[Melamar]

ok we have seen the fish eating away the ddead skin, may i ask what about after that what do you do, massage and polish

[SonicShadowfan1]

I am appalled that this is allowed in the USA. Don't they take into consideration that not only are the fish eating but they are also pooping in that water? Not very sanitary. Since living fish are used no amount of disinfectant can be used in the water or it would kill the fish. Wasn't the last flesh eating virus acquired from unsanitary pedicures enough? Or maybe they put little diapers on those fish to prevent any bacteria from entering the skin through some small nick already present.

[jenninator21]

....if you had been an intelligent person and done a little research, you would realize that, here in the US, they change out the water between each client. We DO have pretty good sanitation laws and regulations when it comes to salons.  Next time, don't start typing on your computer before you get your facts straight.

[SonicShadowfan1]

my mom needs to make her own youtube acount instead of using mine 7_7

[cooley3456187]

lol!!

I feel sorry for you.

[tes75]

ya, good sanitation laws thats why you guys still have e.coli & salmonella cases. You need those laws because most of you doesn't have toilet ethics.

[maxhurford]

so are you also appaled that swimming in the sea is allowed in the USA?

[2211sab]

i done it on my hand and it really tickles ! do u noe tat if u hav guppies, you can do this too?

[annalangella]

totally disgusting and white trash....

[nexypointy]

ridiculous, why not a scrub?

[cub68134]

that would be great for my as i have psoriasis...

[bryceisaG]

i do too im only 16 and most people dont understand... jdiddy and annalangella are people who point and stare at people like us who think were creatures who give disease to others when they completely assume that its contagious because they can contact the swollen area, when their fuckin dumb about it, its not contagious, its hereditary, and mostly nothing but a bothersome nusance, and causes lots of self-confidence issues

[Daokids]

"is it hurts"

lmfao

[andrew3656]

LOL

"is it hurts"

rofl

[balqis97]

is it hurts???

[tianhong33]

nope, i always laugh there

[AztecRose]

I've tried this in Penang. It actually tickles quite a bit but they do a very good job nibbling the dead cells. I was too frighten of the fishes and instead of 10 mins worth, I only put my feet in the water for a little over 2 mins but my feet came out smooth!

[VigonSaze]

Is it just me or am I the only one that finds it disgusting? A bunch of fish eating peoples DEAD SKIN off their feet....

[64blackbird92]

Would you rather scrape that dead skin off with your hands?

[maryw5194719987]

lmao i want to do this

[kailoong168]

Someone being suckered. Not Garra Rufa. It's "Chin Chin/Kiss Kiss" fish from tilapia family. Unscrupulous Chinese biz man uses this to con people.

[itsalisaeed]

This is not Garra Rufa!!! the only specie best for its job

[sexydesigner]

I did this too! it's really good!! its like..the fish clean ur feet or body and they get food at the same time!! =D

[sparkycutie098]

does it hurt?

[caroncarol]

oh god, the small fishes looks creepy enough, the big ones looks even scarier!

[djwilko7]

why would people want to see that? this site has a wide variety of ages and kids dont wannna be seeing that stuff yet man , have some repect! wilko

[jdiddy666]

nobody is interested hillbilly, whitetrash redneck. is that u or your father in your profile? one ugly hick family

[holykinggg1]

i dont dare to do that

[simisthebest]

That is sposed to be really gd for ur feet cus they eat all the dead skin and apparently make ur feet soft. Sounds interesting but i probly wont be able to do it probly tickles to much!

[srb2323]

Could you feel or see the difference when u were finished? Explain please.

[oysterlicker]

Doesn't look like cyprinids to me.

They look more like some sort of cichlids.

Definitely not Garra Rufa.

[inferrior]

Looks fun :)

[midnightsmile]

LOL i don't think i could stand that hahaha...funny
