I was walking around Prague the other day and came across this Thia foot massage place. There were people with there feet in a aquarium, and the fish were cleaning there feet. I have heard of this but never saw it for myself. So next time you have some left over minnows, you might want to save them.

Don't dump out those minnows.

My Dad used to talk about "red horse" minnows in the creek where he lived. Back in that day boils were common and he said the minnows would clean them out. Probably an extinct species today. He lived on Sandy creek near Sheridan Texas.
Definitely illegal here

"The second largest state that is located in southwestern United States on the Gulf of Mexico- Texas has prominently restricted fish pedicure in the state. Those who enjoy fish pedicure are now banned by Texas Department of licensing and regulation.
The nibbling fish were used to do pedicure as these remove dead skin cells of feet. For is practiced on pay basis, but now after the strict order no longer fish pedicure will be seen.
This is banned for safety concerns, one of the Spokeswomen Susan Stanford said giving clearance to the issue. She said that practicing nibbling fishing for pedicure can cause infection using same fish to clean the skin of number of customers.
This is seriously related to health and infection that may be transmitted from one customer to another. The also claims at the foot bath and holding tanks that are place to live in for fish can not be cleaned properly and so can not be disinfected."

It can't be illegal to sit in the river and let the minnows nibble right? They're just saying you can't do it commercially for profit because of Health reasons correct?
I ordered some RC car parts one time, and they came from California I guess. They were just small plastic parts, that's it. There was a big sticker on it that read: "THIS PRODUCT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA." ***? Plastic? Maybe making it but you're not going to get cancer from handling plastic parts. Before you know it, BREATHING is going to be known to cause cancer in CA. "Yeah, breathing is unhealthy, don't do that anymore. We need to make it illegal."
End rant.

I was doing it this weekend. Sometimes a bigger bluegill would come by and peck a little harder than others, but I think I got my money's worth. $0.00

Do you really want to stick your feet into the same, unsanitary fish tank that some nasty person's feet have been in? MERSA anyone? Bacterial infections? No thank you.
the red horse minnows, i believe are actually red tail shiners. they are abundant in the colorado river. they do like to nibble at your feet, and they also like chopped beef and bacon.
Man years ago I could catch red horse minnow below the addicks dam on buffalo bayou. when the water was low we would drag a seine net and catch quit a few. The pet store would give me a dollar a minnow but only in trade. They would give me 10 dollars for small alligator gar. I got a nice aquarium and a bunch of tropical fish, just selling them red horse minnows and gar. They are some nice looking minnows I have always wanted to go back and try and catch them again.
