    This article from The Telegraph describes the fish pedicure quite nicely and on a positive note :D

    I did this in Nottingham and thought it was fantastic. My daughters love it and now we have one set up in Peterborough they often go with their friends. In Nottingham it was incredibly clean and I had lots of questions for the owner who was able to completely reassure me. They had like a little vaccum cleaner to keep the tanks clean between customers. 100 times cleaner than public swimming baths so I didn't have any problem with it. After the initial tickling sensation I found it very relaxing and would certainly go again.

    oh thankyou really want to try this. I would go tot he one at Guildford, but I wonder if its easy to just walk in and have a go. It would take us about 40 mins to get their, so dont want to have a wasted journey. But won not pay £18 for it .

    That was my thoughts too. The changing rooms in our local pool have allsorts floating about in the waste water on the floor.

    I tried it just last week. I have to admit to freaking out slightly when all the fish just kinda gathered round my feet the minute they hit the water, I didn't want to look. Your natural instinct is to swat off anything that comes your way normally so I had to fight that down. :D

    After a few minutes it was fine and I got used to it. It felt just like having your feet in a footspa.

    Is this only for women or does it work for men too? :D

    Men too. I know there are a few runners who do this as a regular thing.

    how gross is that. The fads today are unbelievable. Why the hell would you want fish eating away at your feet. Get a scrubber exfolliant and do it yourself

    Thanks! I was a bit ashamed to ask that but my wife said I need a pedicure and she doesn't wanna do it. Don't feel like go to a lady :D so the fish thing seems good :D
