What is the scientific name for doctor fish and how do i purchase them?
Doctor fish is the name given to two species of fish: Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus. As far as where you get them, I haven't got a clue.
Reply:Garra rufa are the ones they have the articles about that they have in the salons to eat the skin off of your feet and give you a pedicure. You can order them online, but as they have become wildly popular right now, they cost a fortune and most places are sold out of them and have waiting lists at the moment.
Reply:Garra rufa and Cyprinion macrostomus are two types of doctor fish,.





Note: in the news papers they had an artical about it (Those where tolapia not doctor fish, They had the artical wrong)
