Qian Hu Fish Farm

There are many Fish Spas in Singapore but stick to the more reputable brands e.g. Kenko, Qian Hu Fish Spa since there had been a number of reports of shops using cheaper species of fish which could do more harm than good. The Fish Spa service at Qian Hu Fish Farm is one of the cheapest in the market:

Walk-in rates for the Fish Spa – $10 for first half (1/2) hour and subsequent charges are at $0.30 per minute. Slippers and towels are also provided as part of the fee.

If you are planning a company/family bonding trip by having fishes nibbling at their feet, you can also book in advance with Qian Hu Fish Farm -> they have this Spa Executive Tour (weekdays only, exclude Public holidays) that can cost as little as $5/head depending on the group size.

This is the second time I am here for this Fish Spa.. I noticed that the fishes have grown tremendously in size or they had introduced new fish species. Some are as long as my foot and my foot is already quite HUGE!

The sign in Mandarin says ” Over Here -> Bigger Fish Bigger Enjoyment” and indeed it is a very interesting and ticklish experience. Don’t worry, not all fishes are as big; there is just one pool with such big fishes, the rest are smaller ones. You can see the difference between the small and big fish in the top right most picture.

I went to the fish spa on a weekend (no car, so only can wait till weekend to take their free bus) and the place was quite packed with families. The kids were paying for Longkang Fishing and the couples were paying for the Fish Spa.

For the fish spa, although it is quite cheap compared to Kenko at The Singapore Flyer, there are just not enough fish to share. The pools are so big and yet the fish are so relatively little.

Even though Qian Hu have 1 pool that says "bigger fish, bigger sensation", the fish in this pool is still too little and simply "too arrogant". They keep changing location (as they swim around in 1 big pack) and a lot of time, my feet are being bored to death without their "kissing".
