Garra Rufa fish

Garra Rufa fish originate from the thermal waters of the district of Kangal, Sivas in Turkey. In 1996, Turkey government put a restriction on the export of the Garra Rufa Fish from Kangal, as the thermal waters with Garra Rufa fish became a big tourist attraction. Since then, the Garra Rufa fish that are on the market outside Turkey are bred in artificial environments.
There are more than a hundred different “Garra” species and for an "out stander", it is very hard to distinguish the original Garra Rufa fish from its family members. Many breeders and trade companies offer the fish by the name “doctor fish” and offer different “Garra” species or even different types of species such as Chin-Chin fish.

Original Garra Rufa fish
Garra Rufa Deutschland offers original Garra Rufa fish that are bred and raised in a professional cultivation centre under the supervision of fish breeding experts. At the head office of Garra Rufa Europe in the Netherlands, a constant stock of 100.000 Garra Rufa fish is maintained to supply the European market.
