True, but they didn't ban it because it was harmful to the fish, only because they didn't/couldn't change the water in between customers.

Still a good thing though. Imagine the fish are undernourished from being fed dead skin.

Coulda been a good market for it, all these old people down here must have plenty of dead skin on their feet.

i don't know... i did this over in china and aside from the small ones there were quite a few 3+ inchers that could give you a good bite!

Even though they did it for the wrong reasons, I am glad they banned it. Its just sad the reason wasn't for the concern of the animal (fish).

It is good that it is banned, but most spas don't change the water between customers anyway. They constantly circulate the water through a uv sterilizer.
