Ho said the hot water in which the fish thrive doesn't support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available — including dead, flaking skin.
Great...starving the fish?

I wonder if they wash the feet first??
Yeah they wash the feet, it showed a clip of it in the video!
It's still gross though! What if the fish accidentally ate small flakes of nail polish? That stuff contains dangerous chemicals!
I worked as a waitress in a retirement home and we weren't allowed to wear nail polish for fear of it flaking off into the food and making the elderly sick!
Coler is off to dip the tootsies into the rift lake tank. After a hard day at the office - nibbly bliss :)

I'm only nervous about the water change for each customer - are they being careful to make sure the water is treated properly and is also close enough to the previous water so that the fish don't get shocked?

i saw this on "i survived a japanese game show". the winners were treated to a spa, and they had a pedicure with these little fishes. it was pretty funny because the fish swarmed over this one girl, leaving her friends without any fish, lol
mmmmmmmmmmm...tasty bunions.
