after initial investigation it appears the fish have been checked and should be treated humanely...

old meidcal treatment for people with skin issues.

There are several different types of fish used but the best known is the Doctor Fish

they eat all the dead skin off and are meant to be amazing. So much so that quite a few people get caught trying to smuggle them into Australia (being illegal here)
