Stopped in to check out the store for the first time, and was greeted instantly walking in the door. The place was loaded with tanks, both fresh and salt water. I was able to browse the selection at my own pace, and, the staff was always clear that they were available to me if I needed anything. They were relatively busy on this afternoon, so, I opted to return another day to make my purchases. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I grew up going to the Quincy location years ago with my father and always loved the experience, flash forward 25 years and I recently started a tank for my daughter and I and had to look them up. Theyre a pet friendly store, with the family cat and dog assisting my daughter. They had an excellent selection of beautiful cichlids, were super helpful and knowledgeable as well as a good selection of tank equipment (I needed and older style florescent tank light which I was having trouble locating in a store and was going to order a more expensive one online but they saved me time and $ which I got another fish with). My daughter loved her 1st fish store experience and even though their about 45 min from my house, I will ABSOLUTELY be returning, thank you for the wonderful experience!

This place was lovely! I usually go to the larger chain stores, however I have been completely converted. I inquired about purchasing some female endlers and despite not having them in stock they offered to special order them for us. Customized service is lovely and the store has anything and everything you could possible need. I plan on doing all of my aquatic shopping here from now on. Beyond amazing!

I meant to write a review after my first time but having gone back several times I can say this place is the absolute best. I am fairly new to having a aquarium and just had a million questions and all staff knew every answer with patience and making sure I understood. They offered me advice and told me step by step what to do. The store is clean and a great selection of fish, live plants and pretty much anything you can think of! I upgraded my hood and light and they had everything i needed. I will not go anywhere else!

Very knowledgeable family run business, with beautiful healthy fish that are really well cared for!

Incredibly helpful! Answered all of my many questions and pointed me in the correct fish and plants for my tank. Prices are extremely reasonable. I’ve had my fish I got from them for a couple months and they are all doing amazing. All the plants I got took off in my tank and it’s beautiful! Highly recommend going here!!!

So many fish! Beautiful shop. Some of the fish were looking a bit sick, though. I suppose thats bound to happen, just be careful if youre buying something. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I love this store. I use to go when they were located in Quincy and now I started visiting the Kingston store. The staff have always been super knowledgeable and helpful. Im currently having a pH issue with my tank and they helped with suggestions to lower it. The fish and plants are super healthy. They have a wide variety of both fresh and salt water fish. I love this store.

The couple who own this shop could not be nicer or more knowledgeable, they always take the time to make sure you find exactly what you’re looking for, and care to make sure the animal or product you choose is the right fit for you and your tank. 10/10 would recommend.

Steve helped me pick out a couple fish for my brothers tank in store, and before that was very responsive to my questions about stock over the phone. I was blown away by the friendliness and help- it was greatly appreciated! They are well stocked with food, aquarium supplies, and stunning fish. Definitely will make this a stop for all my fish needs now. Thanks again!

Lovely Pets Aquarium is a wonderful family owner local fish store with friendly service and a great selection of livestock and dry goods. They work hard to give great service and are committed to their customers success and continue to get new people interested in the aquarium hobby. The new location is nice and open with plenty of stock, if you cant find it on the shelf be sure to ask, they can special order no problem and are happy to help.

Lovely Pets is a great store. Steve Marly and Jack are very nice and helpful.

The people there are so nice and very helpful. 100% will be returning!!

My family and I decided to take a trip to Lovely Pets today and we were NOT disappointed. The staff greated us warmly when we arrived and right away we could tell this place was awesome. From the plants to the fish, both fresh and saltwater, everything appeared to be thriving. I was very impressed with their selection of freshwater fish, specifically the African Cichlids, (we purchased three). The fish made it home safely and are settling in wonderfully. I know will be returning to support this fantastically run family business!

Great shop with everything you need. Friendly and welcoming staff with years of knowledge in aquariums and all things fish. Highly recommended over larger stores with numerous animal types.

There is something to be said about an individually owned pet store. But, don’t buy more then a couple of fish at a time. The owner will not credit you if anything goes belly up! She will find a way not to credit you for your investment. So, go ahead and support your local shop. But, just know that if anything dies. It’s on you!My situation, I bought 16 cardinal tetras all from one tank. And, a couple of days later, I bought 16 more cardinal tetras from a completely different tank in the store. The first group (being slightly larger) is still healthy today. The second grouping all died off within 1 week. I was told by the owner it must be my water quality. Just doesn’t tell my other 16 healthy cardinals!

One of the few solid aquarium shops in town. They are very fish focused. So, while it may not be the best place for equipment, it is the best place for actual fish. Great selection. Well cared for. Fresh, salt, and pond; they stock it all. All sizes, leviathan to minnow. You will find a fish to match your tank.

Super knowledgeable and friendly. they were the only place in town that had the fluval replacement part i needed. this is my new LFS for sure.

5 stars and these folks earned each one. So grateful they moved their buisness to Kingston. My family and I have in all seriousness been visiting at least once a week for a couple of months now and each trip was better than the last.The Couple that owns and operates have provided a wonderful variety of healthy fish. I tend to skip the quarantine stage (shame on me I know) which has been an issue in the past with the 2 big chains but never here. We have now purchased 5 fish, 2 spiny eels, and an amphibian (plus plants) and every single one has been perfectly healthy and a delight. I am fairly new to the hobby, a little over a year in, and as my wife will tell you can be a pain in the a$$ with it. These folks have been happy to take the time to answer every question I have and go out of their way to find what we need.The thing that stands out the most though is how wonderful the owners and staff have been with the rest of my family. Two little girls and a baby boy can be an annoyance to some but every single visit I am blown away with how warm, friendly, and patient this lovely couple is with them. Its that mom and pop shop magic that is becoming harder and harder to find these days.While they are actually very competitively priced, I am more than willing to pay the extra couple of dollars on the very few items that they cant match amazon on....shopping online is obviously a wonderful convenience but there isnt anything that can match the experience of shopping a well run, local family buisness.Absolutely stop in and see for yourself! Im not the type to take the time to write reviews like this unless it is for something truly special.

Very nice and they know a lot about fish and care very well of them

Deal with the guy and his son the woman Ive known for years probably 30+ yrs and shes always been rude. The store is awesome Im glad they just didnt close like a lot of mom and pop stores. Great to see they brought the kitty with.

New location is great! Smaller than the old one in Quincy, but quality.

Great place knowledgeable helpful staff. Great for all your fish needs

Tanks looked very clean, fish looked very healthy, the staff was very knowledgeable. Best store Ive been to yet

Absolutely the best family run place around!

The employees are very kind and know so much about aquatic ..def. The place to go

Place was awesome! Friendly service, great selection, and family owned. Cant get any better than that!!

Great new location . Great help. Fish look happy and tanks are spotless. Will be going again.... Also doggy and kitty are so friendly.

I had a bad experience previously with another store because I didnt know about pH, temperature, chemicals, etc. Id spent about $100 buying fish and all the fish died. I wanted to give it another try so I went online and found this store. I explained my problem to one of the attendants and they gave me some good bacteria for free and showed me some strong fish so theyd survive our tank. We brought the fish home and wanted to get more a day later. We went back, with our water, and they gave it a FREE test. They explained the problem and strongly recommended us not to get anymore fish just in case the fish didnt survive. Were told to come back in a week and I cant wait!! Their prices are noticeably cheaper, I remember seeing some of the same exact types of fish that were half the prices of the other store. The attendants are friendly even though I know I can be a bit too much for some people and they werent annoyed when I came back the second time. This is a 11/10!!!!! I hope you will come to this store because theyre truly amazing and have great service.

Love this place, people there are super friendly!!!

New location looks amazing! Owners were super friendly like always and its a huge improvement from their old basement store in Quincy!

Nicer store than Quincy. Support small biz! Also fish are healthy!

Great friendly experience very knowledgeable and good prices highly recommended !! .

Great store with knowledgable people

Excellent service by great people with a true passion for fish

What a great fish store with wondeful people to answer every question...Highly reccomended

Great owners, great fish!

Most knowledge staff you can find

This is what an aquarium store should be.A wide and constantly updated selection of fresh and saltwater fish, plants and supporting accessories, combined with a friendly and knowledgeable staff (plus unofficial cat and dog mascots) make this an example for the community.This is a business that deserves your patronage.

Nice people

Very clean tanks, amazing selection and the staff are great people!

I came in here not knowing exactly where to start, but the staff walked me through everything I needed and have been outstanding in helping me through the process of starting my first reef tank. All their fish look very healthy, and I love supporting a local small business. Could not recommend enough.

Very good place for buying Aquarium and decorating stuff.. variety of fishes available and people who work in store are knowledgable.. lovely place to get fishes..

Great people to get good information on aquariums best in around

These guys are THE BEST! After buying sick fish and getting bad information from a couple of the big pet stores, I was recommended to these guys right in Quincy Center. They have gone above and beyond with their level of service, knowledge and professionalism. Plus the kids love going to the store and seeing all the fish! I wont go anywhere else.

Knowledgeable willing to help with start up

Great selection of fresh water and salt. Lots of equipment and the best of all...staff is awesome!

Lovely Pets has been a local fixture in pet supply. They have been in Quincy literally my whole life. The staff is top notch, knowledgeable and friendly. They are moving to Kingston (I believe) and I will most likely continue to shop there.

Great owners nice variety of fish freshwater and saltwater nice place to hang out

Awesome fish and other critters with plenty of aquarium supplies and knowledgeable staff! Its a shame theyll be moving locations soon, but Ill be sure to visit them in Kingston too!

Great store to get fish and supplies. Like that they have real growing water plants. Not the small ones sold at large pet chains that come in a plastic tube rooted in jelly.....they never last and usually 1 or 2 are dead already. These are healthy and thriving before they even leave the store.

New to the fish keeping hobby I have been doing a lot of research for about 6 months now. Traveling within a 50 mile radius North and South of my home visiting every Tropical Fish Store I could find. By far Lovely Pets is my favorite. Their tanks are absolutely spotless, they have a great selection of fish, supplies, decorations and my favorite freshwater plants! The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I am beyond grateful to Cory for spending so much time with me in answering all of my many questions and I’m so very excited to know that I have finally found a Tropical Fish Store for all my aquatic needs. Be sure to check this place out, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!!!

I have had the most wonderful experience every time I have gone to this store, i will never go anywhere else for anything especially live fish, I had bought over 16 African cichlids from them over a year ago and they are all doing amazing. There is such a difference in their care for their fish compared to other fish stores. They really do care about their customers and are always willing to help, such amazing staff and so professional. My favorite place to go. I wish I could give it 10 stars.!

Excellent customer service and great selection of aquarium fish and supplies

Friendly, clean. Lots of knowledge for the beginner and for the novice.

They have such a wide selection, and carry live food- bloodworms, brine shrimp etc. They sell nearly any of their underwater plants, and carry a different variety of betta fish. I always love to see what they have!!

I moved from Florida and as an avid aquarium enthusiasts I was very disappointed in New Englands selection of tropical fish stores until I walked into here. A light felt like it shown down the staircase as I heard the bubble of tanks and could see driftwood peering out from the corner. The selection is amazing and they have everything you could possible want for an aquarium saltwater or fresh water! You can start from the bottom up here and they were super nice about everything I had to ask about. Thanks yall :)

They are very knowledgeable and extremely nice 10/10

Best aquarium store on south shore. great selection of fish (sw & fw) and great prices on coral.Update (7 Dec 2019). Lovely Pets is now in Kingston and the new place looks great!

I go here with my niece who has an axolotl amphibian! She gets feeder fish and things for the tank. I dont know if this is the place we get the frozen mice as well. That could be the one in Weymouth but they are a great couple who run this place!

Great selection of fish and tanks. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than some brand name pet stores but not everything is centered around price.The owners and employees are top notch. Attentative, knowledgeable and most importantly they truly value your business.

Despite the not so attractive front entrance and construction in the area; date of this review, as of June 2019. The store needs a little tidy up, but overall I would recommend the Lovely Pets aquarium pet store for all your tropical saltwater and freshwater aquarium needs, as they feature a large variety of live fish for beginners, intermediate, and even serious, fish keepers alike who know a thing or two about the hobby of the aquarium keeping. They have a modest selection of crustaceans, kois and large live fish. Unfortunately I did not found the Ghostnife fish I was looking for on my quick visit to the store, the attending woman told me that they have limited stock from time to time, so definitely I will be back soon.

Wow! What a great store! Huge selection of fresh and salt water. Really friendly staff. All the fish looked super healthy and they have the largest section of dry goods (from tanks and rocks to good and water chemicals) Ive seen in a store. If you have Aquarium or aquatic needs (ponds included) this is the place to be!!

Was great but they moved away.

Place has been here forever too bad it seems like that whole area is under construction. What will happen when this building goes under construction? Will you guys stick around?Very good place to get stuff that other places do not have! Great location to get in and out! Parking is not too bad. Like all places it does get hot inside!I have been to trying to check out all aquarium pet stores and this is a top pick for location and accessibility! Framingham is twice the distance uncle Ned’s is in the middle of no where but very knowledgeable!Taunton and Fall River are very good as well!DOES ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN AROUND HERE?October 12-13, 2019 | Saturday 10 am - 6 pm | Sunday 10 am - 4 pmSecaucus, NJ | Meadowlands Exposition Center

One of the best fish stores ive been to, fish quality is amazing! Owners truly care about their fish! I drive up from Cape Cod, well worth the drive!

Youre in for a treat and fabulous service. I used to own a tropical fish store many years ago. Have the eye for healthy fish. And especially the salts, youll be mesurmised at the healthy environments - especially the invertabrates. Just wish it was a bit less cluttered and a bit cleaner. Id add, I was there for the fish, and I know from experience that its tough keeping things clean in a fish store.

Best fish store ive been too!

Great pricing and very knowledgeable employees. One stop shop. Only place around i have found to have larger freshwater fish and the hard to find fish

Best aquatics store Ive been to

I didn’t even want to vote 1 star but it’s the only way it works ok let’s get to my point , imagine all the animals in the wild compared to animal in captivity which one do you think is having a better life Obviously The animals in the wild the aquarium animals like orcas only live until age 13 which is very little and for the animals to give birth they give them drugs because remember they only live until age 13 so they are too youngOk so now you guys understand??

Great place! Visited for the first time the other day, and was amazed of selection of fish, corals, decorations and equipment. I got help right when I walked in and everybody was kind and very helpful. They helped get everything I need to start my reef tank. I will be a regular customer at lovely pets.

Oddball place. Lots of variety. Nice fish, decent prices

I brought a sample of water from my salt water tank and the owner was so helpful and informative to what the imbalances were and how to fix them. She even took her time to explain to me and write things down for me. Wont be going to any other aquarium store!

Great selection and knowledge of fish

Steve is Absolutely Amazing !!! This man knows his stuff. His prices are Very reasonable. The selection of corals , salt water fish and freshwater fish are Awesome !!! Steve and his employees are very knowledgeable and he has everyone you need to get your aquarium, salt or freshwater started. Thank you Steve

I am not sure yet because I didnt go. But I am planning to go soon when I setup my fish tank

This place is awesome. The real deal with knowledgeable and friendly staff that genuinely care their clients and the fish/aquatic life. The shop just has a great vibe.

Great place, all types of healthy fish and many great products thatll you need to setup or maintain. They can and will help you on any questions or problems. You must go if you havent already youll be happy you did.These fish came from lovely pets. All my fish

I have been there twice now and think they are running a great shop. The staff has good knowledge on corals. I also think that a shop that keeps the tanks clean does care about the reef customers./Pat

A fellow salt water hobbyist told me to go to Lovely Pets because in his experience they have the healthiest fish. I went and he was correct. From the time I walked in until checkout, I was treated like a guest who wanted to learn more about fish and corals. Steve and his wife have a wealth of knowledge and my tank is doing great because of their great advise. I bought two fish so far and 4 different corals. They are all doing great. I highly recommend this fish business to anyone, from the beginner to expert.

They have an awesome selection of fish, nice and healthy. Great prices and friendly people

I wouldnt consider buying fish anywhere else. The store is amazing with a wide selection of fish and great products. The owners are super helpful. I could spend hours in there just looking at all the fish.

Love this place, gonna be sad to see it go...

These are some of the best and most knowledgeable people I have had the pleasure to meet. We set-up a tank for my special needs daughter and they have been so helpful in creating a sustainable tank.If you really want to do it write go to Lovely Pets and find knowledge, care and class not find in any other place.

The absolute best place to go for all your a Tropical Fish needs. Very informative and helpful staff, as well as it is a locally owned and operated store.

The premiere aquarium store in greater Boston. Deep extensive knowledge, family owned and operated. Love Steve his wife and son. Excellent selection of livestock, competitive prices. Cant be beat.

Best aquarium store around. Hate to see it go

Very helpful staff. Looks unassuming, but downstairs is a great fish store. The staff is helpful and doesnt pressure you to buy anything you dont need. I have a sick goldfish and came in for their free water testing. Talked through it for a while with Steve who suggested suggested salt (among other things) and reminded me I could use the epsom salt I already had at home. Its not the most convenient coming from Roslindale but I like and trust this place so Ill be coming back.

Our favorite local fish store. The owners are amazing and give great advice, selling you only what you need. Large selection and well cared for fish.

Always get better quality fish than at the chains. Your tank environment is important for fish health but I have had minimal problems with fish from here and I have purchased fish from multiple chain stores over my hobby history.

Great selection and excellent service. The staff was very willing to help me out getting started with discus. Needless to say this is now my primary local fish store!

Great shop great people. If you can think of it they most likely have it.

1st quality, its sad Quincy pushed them out. They are moving to Kingston

Staff are very knowledgeable and caring. Variety of products is great. Also, their cat, Stanley, is the best.

Friendly knowledgeable staff that can help keep your salt water tank beautiful. Lots of tropical fish and corals to choose from.

Great selection, knowledgeable staff, clean and healthy aquariums and they carry everything you need from livestock to supplies and equipment. I highly advise this store- my only issue is they are far from my home!

Always welcoming and warm. Great advice and very willing to take the time to help you learn. I love this place

Very knowledgeable staff, friendly and helpful. Can help with problems related to aquariums. Good selection of fish and accessories.

Really exceptional service -- and unparalleled expertise.
