Fish Spa - Ceylon Logsucker/Stone Sucker (Garra ceylonensis)
At the beginning of my tour, the guide told me that he will take me to a waterfall and a spa and I just took it in as a joke. When he reached the waterfall towards the end of the day, he asked that I took off my shoes, which I was reluctant to. I eventually relented and was surprised how quickly this Stone Sucker fishes came to my feet and started to 'nibble' away. It feels ticklish. This is similar to the Fish Spa.
The Ceylon Logsucker or Stone Sucker is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra.
