Were soon to get the fish pedicure in the salon... Has anyone got it in there's? If so how's it getting on? We feel it will be good whilst clients colours are on and there waiting for 30mins.
Are there not health and safety issues with this fish spa thing still?

Hi People we have a system in our salon and its very nice, but first thing i am a fish keeper have been keeping fish for pleasure for over thirty years,
1. you will need someone who knows about fish keeping to support you.
2. BUYER BEWARE, our system although we were told was fitted with a steriliser, IT WAS NOT, and that is probably the single most important piece of equipment in our line of business, it was fitted with a clarifier, which was not adequate. and the supplier is now hiding their heads in the sand......!
3. I have first hand experience of 2 systems and both were not what they said, on the box so to speak.
4. When you first get your system in they will tell you that you can stock imeadiatley 100 fish and start treating customers imeadiatley, this is not possible it is cruel to the fish, the system needs to be matured slowly, IE add 20 fish, wait 2-3 days then dependant on water tests, continue in the same way.
5. Do your research speak to your local aquatics shop, they may be prepared to get the fish in for you and then supply you them slowly and support you with any issues.
I will help any of you in any way i can just PM or email me, and good luck
We have it in our salon.. It's quite seasonal but still very popular. Speak to your environmental officers before you get it in+ they'll keep you right.. Goodluck
If only I'd known 18 years ago....when I was in high school we went on a field trip to a local forestry. A friend and I were sitting on the side of the creek with our feet in the water and the little fish were nibbling on our feet - we were laughing because it was tickling and we almost got left behind cause we were sitting there for ages. If only I'd know then how it would become a beauty treatment, I could have made a mint :lol:
Hi Good advice re Environmental Health, but i have found some of them have no clue about this issue,
I see your not far from us, were did you get your system from if you dont mind me asking, i would like to get info on as many different systems as possible.
