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.
