GOOD NEWS.... FOR NOW AT LEAST...

Dear Ned,

In a victory for responsible pet businesses in Florida and across the country, this morning the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) postponed their vote on proposed rules for Nonnative Fish and Wildlife that would have crippled growth and competitiveness for the state’s pet businesses and damaged the pet sector nationwide.

We credit in large part YOUR quick response to send comments to the Commissioners and sign our petition opposing the proposed rules. The Pet Advocacy Network team was in Miami today, along with other pet sector representatives, to deliver testimony and over 1,200 petition signatures that we gathered in just a few days.

BUT OUR JOB IS NOT DONE. We continue to urge the FWC to collaborate with the Technical Assistance Group (TAG) and experts from the pet and animal exhibitor sectors who have been working on solutions to protect Florida’s delicate ecosystem while also safeguarding pet businesses. A regulatory option we support is a conditional list, if needed, of prohibited species, which would be a much smaller, manageable and enforceable list than the proposed “clean list” that attempts to encompass all allowed species.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? If you’d like to attend a TAG meeting virtually or in person, or have any questions about this issue, contact us by email or at 202-452-1525, x1000. If you’re not yet a member, please support our work by joining today at petadvocacy.org/membership.

If you engaged on our effort this week, or any of the issues we’re advocating for, thank you.

- ABOUT US -

Uncle Ned's Fish Factory is located in Millis Massachusetts and is one of the New England Area's largest and most devoted tropical fish retailers. We have been dealing in rare and unusual tropical freshwater, and pond fish for over 15 years. Owner Ned Bowers has been working with fish all his life and brings his passion for the aquarium hobby to the store in the form of our unique, diverse, and healthy selection of fish. To learn more about the store, to see our current livestock listings and equiptment specials, and to participate in active discussions please visit our Forums.

- OUR FISH SELECTION -

Cichlids:

Ned got his start in the fish business by importing and selling African Cichlids. These beginnings are still evident at Uncle Ned’s as we maintain one of the most diverse selections of African and South American Cichlids in New England.

At the store you will regularly find:

Rare Tropicals:

We do, of course, carry most of the common community fish, but we also use our connections in East and West Africa, South and Central America, and South East Asia, to bring in as many Rare and New species as possible. These include unusual members of the Cichlids, Tetras, Barbs, Catfish, Eels, Monster fish, and a multitude of other groups. Some examples include rare new species of West African Congo Tetra, large rare Polypterus, newly discovered South American Tetras, and a large list of fancy Plecos.

Fish Tags

New -- we have created simple fish info tags for use in the store to help you identify some of our fish species, and now you can download these. either click here or save the pdf displayed below:

KOI and Pond Fish:

We have been carrying Koi and Goldfish for years, but have recently stepped it up a notch and began importing direct from Japan. Every spring you will find a selection of true Japanese Koi at Uncle Ned’s. Ned is able to hand pick monster koi for import as well as batches of smaller Ogon, Kohaku, Sanke, Showa, and a multitude of other breeds. We do also offer domestic koi, but have found the quality and health of our Japanese imports unbeatable.

Plants:

In the spring and summer we turn our parking lot into a small aquatic nursery with a large selection of hardy and tropical water lilies, marginals, and oxygenator plants. Throughout the year we are stocked with a wide variety of indoor aquarium plants, including, among others, many species of Aponogeton, Anubias, and Cryptocoryne.
