Garra rufa
Doctor fish is the name given to the species of fish Garra rufa. Other nicknames include nibble fish, kangal fish, physio fish, and doctorfishen. I met these tiny creatures when I experienced fish spa at Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). It helps in natural exfoliation of dead skin, promote blood circulation, release tension, benefecial in eczema & minor skin problems.

That would be cool
I found this in my album & clicked back then with no intention to post it in something like this project though. I'll put some other pictures, they give a closer & better look!
Great backstory on this. Too bad we can't actually see the fish to know what the scientific name is.
