Hey, Dude...

...let's see if we can get some people to pay us $50 apiece to stick their hands in the fish tank!



Unlike many fish, the Garra rufa is unafraid of humans. In fact, these pinkie-size fish like you. They like you very much.



Which is key to why they're turning up in salons in Virginia, Ohio and now, Aurora and Gurnee. People are paying $25-$50 to plop their feet and/or hands in water tanks and let swarms of the gray, toothless fish work as Neptune's exfoliators.



"They have very firm lips," said Olena Manakina, co-owner of Fun Fins in the Gurnee Mills Mall.
