    Garru Rura

    Has anyone seen these guys before ? I recently saw them on (don't laugh) The View. :oops:

    These little guys apparently eat dead skin off of your body.

    I'm glad to hear that, cuz I think it's nasty someone putting their dirty stinky feet in with poor fishys.

    ack! I Think I would slap my nail lady if she offered to put fish in my pedicure! I'll just stick with a pumice stone thanks. Poor fishies, I wonder how many die a day?

    Is no one going to point out that Anthony was watching the VIEW????
