Smile My Doctor Fish doing his job. (Garra rufa)
In the middle of an aquarium overhaul and couldn't escape my little doctor fish. They get excited as soon as they see my hand and start "vacuuming".





In case you didn't know, Doctor Fish are an algae eater in the aquarium hobby, but are sometimes used as a spa treatment for skin conditions such as psoriasis.

Anyway, back to work. My lunch is done and I've got another hour or two of aquarium work! Will post pictures when finished...

That shrimp is cool, psych.

Yeah he wouldn't leave me alone. I'd have to shake him off my hand and he'd just come straight back. It was like he was glued to my hand, lol.

Doesn't feel so good when they go up your arm and start pulling on the hairs...
