Hello all. I am from Kenya, Africa. I watched on CNN how the chinchin Yu fish is being used in spas and thought that would be a good idea.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a number of them to start a business.
 
Chinchin is tilapia species...isnt tilapia native to Africa? Maybe you can get some juvies from nearbly lake where the tilapia existed? Also try find another market while you in the business if chinchin get too big and toothsomey.
 
I think you are totally mistaken. Chinchin you is a fish used for eating dead skin as a spa treatment in china. Go to your market place and buy a tilapia, put it in your bathtub and tell me what kinda treatment you get. Dude...
 
This is a terrible idea. If you read more into it, you'll find that the fish don't last long in the extremely hot conditions in which they are kept. It is a total injustice to the fish, please don't get into it.

I agree.
I have not heard good things about this topic.
 
From what I have read it is fine as long as you just keep them in a "warm" spa and not a "hot" spa.

you can buy them here

just make sure to treat them like any other pet and provide for them before providing for yourself
