I saw this.

The goldfish I have to take care of at work try the same thing with my hands.



I'd try it, but not pay for it. The fact that they don't have teeth is reassuring.

Just read about this on a site called wtf_inc, so I guess most people think it's pretty strange. My only issue is that I wonder how many fish get stepped on? I'd try it because I hate looking after my feet. At least they're in better shape than they used to be but its still impossible to keep ahead of the hard skin. I used to cut it off with toenail clippers, so little fishies can't be a worse decision than that.

Is $35 all that expensive, though? Pedicures around here are $20 at the school so students can get practice in, so I figured if this D.C. joint was professional and under three figures, it's gotta be a fair price.

Why not just use a dremel tool and a miniature sanding band?

The article mentioned sanitary issues.

I saw something like that on Ugly Betty I think. Fish nibbling probably would work as more sanitary then a dremel tool and it could be less risky for the pedicurists too. All that flying dead skin in the air? Eww.

Elsha, if you do it,let me know...I would watch someone get their pedicure by fish but I don't think I'd want to myself.

FYI
This is now illegal in Florida.

I heard. Psht.

Yes, seems they were having trouble sterilizing the fish lips.

It's getting/been outlawed in several states, from what I heard.

Kind of a stupid reason, if you ask me.
