Uncle Joe's Fish Shed

Premium Fish, Shrimp, and Plants. Quality Advice, Information, and Resources from Experts

Welcome to Uncle Joe’s Fish Shed —

Congratulations, you’ve stumbled into the most dangerously enthusiastic fish shop on the internet. We’re small‑batch, over‑caffeinated, and way too excited about fish that sift sand for a living. Everything here is hand‑picked, Strictly Quarantined, and released only if they meet the highest of expectations.

If you’re here for rare species, honest care, and the kind of customer service that feels like two friends yelling fish facts at you — welcome home. Grab a towel, fill your cart, and grab your favorites before the batch swims away.

The Shed is open. Try not to slip.

🦓 Colombian Zebra Pleco (Hypancistrus debilittera)

False Zebra, True Icon.

The L129 Colombian Zebra Pleco brings sleek contrast and subtle swagger to any tank. With its dark body and irregular pale striping, it’s often mistaken for the famous L046—but this Orinoco native holds its own. Peaceful, petite, and packed with personality, it’s perfect for nano tanks and aquascapes alike.

L129: Because stripes don’t lie.
