I want some of these. I wonder if we can get them in the US? ~ jan

The Garra Rufa is a variety of carp. I always thought my goldfish
were trying to eat the hairs on my legs and body. I wonder if ours
would do the dead skin thing if we got into a hot tub size pond full
of unfed fry. Lots of my dead skin is on my face and ears (sun
damage.), but I couldn't hold my breath for an hour for them to clean
it off. Probably wouldn't work anyway, since it isn't psoriasis, but
it is an interesting thought.

There are sources in China, probably for volume dealers.
