🐟 Burundi Frontosa — The Shed’s Crown Jewel

The fish that built the brand. Thick bars, bold contrast, and that classic Burundi head that screams presence. Shed‑bred from day one, raised slow in stable Florida water, and shaped by the same hands that built Uncle Joe’s Fish Shed. This line isn’t imported, guessed, or pieced together — it’s homegrown quality, generation after generation, with consistency you can see the moment they glide out.

Every Frontosa in this batch carries the mascot bloodline — steady, confident, and unmistakably “Shed.” The kind of fish that moves with purpose, holds eye contact, and owns the tank without lifting a fin. Calm. Confident. Regal. A centerpiece with attitude — the one that makes people stop scrolling and stare because the quality is obvious even through a screen.
