Finny friends feed on feet

A hot springs theme park in Hakone has introduced doctor fish to one of its baths in a move that is proving to be quite popular with its visitors.
The doctor fish is a kind of carp found in Turkey and other countries of west Asia, which eats old dry human skin. Visitors dangle their feet in the water and the fish get to work removing old skin. Some say that the fish not only cleanse the feet, they also have a healing effect.
They seem to be a distant freshwater cousin of my zoku..”small in length-mighty in strength”.

April 21st, 2006 at 9:07 amThis isn’t exactly a “Playing Vegas” type gig for the fish you know. Human feet? How low can you sink !! At least a remora gets to hang around the “big stars” like sharks..umm..Manta rays, the occasional turtle etc,etc.(I’d rather eat myself than a chunk of rotting foot flesh).
That is so gross!
I want to try it!
