OK, I can see the setting, a very relaxing spa, with a fresh water stream running through it and putting your feet in the stream for the fish pedicure. Really this sounds ok. I just don't see putting fish in a pedicure bowl with water and putting client's feet in there. That's the part I have trouble with, the sanitation part. If I wanted to stick my feet in water filled with fish poop then I would go to my pond - which probably doesn't have a much as I think because there are different kinds of fish in there that clean up the yuck. I'm sorry to be so narrow minded. I just need to know more about the sanitation procedures. And yes, I believe that the natural way of doing this is much better - leaches, ect - but even prior generations didn't expose themselves unneccessarily. JMO Kim Tobin
