#nibblefish

A fish native to cool, fast-flowing rivers of the Mediterranean and Middle East. They spend a good portion of their time grazing on algae and biofilm growing on the rocks, plants, substrate and driftwood of their habitat, but they are omnivorous and opportunistically feed on zooplankton! This fish is also known by the names nibblefish and doctorfish and it is sometimes used in spas to manage skin problems.

Also called doctor fish or nibblefish due to them being common in spas as they can eat dead skin. Their natural diet consists of detritus, algae that they scrape off surfaces, and even small animals! They're also a part of the carp family.
