Nice directory of cichlids, but the ones I bought were infested with ich but it’s mostly treated now

The price here is amazing!! Everything is so healthy and fresh as well.I'm new to this hobby and was looking for a lot of plants for my new aquariums. This place has the cheapest price for plants compared to anywhere nearby! This can make a huge difference when you're getting a bunch.Great store that has the "local fish store"vibe. People there are super nice, and there's a vast collection of fish.I needed a lot of ramshorn snails to breed for feeding, and they had really pretty colored ones! pink, blue, brown and gold. some leopards? I'm so happy how my tanks ended up looking...photos are just some of my happy tanks and plants :) Most if not all of those plants are from them!

This place is great. Really helped me out and took 4 goldfish off of my hands. Biggest selection of Pleckos that I've seen around here. Guy with hat was happy to help us and really seemed to enjoy working with fish. Will recommend

Impressive selection of healthy tropical fish, planted tank supplies and shrimp housed in a utilitarian shop. Prices were very reasonable. I purchased a dozen smaller fish for stocking a cycled tank and have had zero loss after a month, which is better than I usually do on big box store purchases. Worth the trip!

I was so excited to find this place is open koi pons outside beautiful displays of fish inside from small to big versions of fish. Did you see in pet stores healthy fish, beautiful assortment I was like a kid in a candy shop driftwood for tanks. Good customer service my children enjoyed it as well, very busy but I can see why owners of the shop with Gentle Educational and patient one of the best experience I’ve had in a hole will never go to another pet shop for fish family owned and they still love what they do after over 30 years of experience passed on a great experience for me and my kids so happy with the fish that I purchased they are so beautiful and selected care and thoughtfulness to what would work better in a community tank how to add. Fish even was given a special bag of food made on site. Can’t say enough wow about this place. Reasonable prices

Amazing place! I used to by yucky fish from PetCo but now I buy EVERYTHING from here! Good selection of fish, but you might wanna train your young employees better cause they don’t really pay attention.

When I go to chain pet stores like Petsmart I often see sick looking fish lying on bottom of the tank and they often die shortly after brining then home…well this never happens with Uncle Ned’s, the fish are healthy, lively and well taken care of, plus the owners have been in the business for years. I only go here when I “fish shop!”

The best thing about this place is the passion of the staff. They are unfailingly giving with their knowledge, experience and time. We have two happy betta girls (separate tanks) and a tiny horde of delightfully weird guppy boys in a fraternity tank who are all happy & healthy fish kids thanks to them!

Great selection of oddball fish that can’t be found in elsewhere in MA, and prices are very reasonable compared to some other well known aquarium stores in the state. Staff are also friendly and proactive in ensuring that you have been assisted. Overall highly recommended for aquarium enthusiasts.

Amazing fish and great coloring. Tanks seems to be clean and a good environment. The tank walls needs a little scrub but massive selection of high quality fish.

My dad's day was made when we walked into this shop. Well maintained, stocked and run. I have never seen so many axolotls!!

I've gone to Ned's Fish Factory since I was a child. They always have a great selection of fish and aquatic plants. Not reading the sign, I walked into the store today without ringing the covid intercom. I was approached by the employees and quickly, but friendly, escorted out of the store. The employees were very knowledgeable and helpful.

I love the koi and gold fish ponds and plants. It's not the cleanest or the cheapest store in the world but once you get past that it's a great store.

I stopped in on a whim to buy a few Koi for my pond, his fish were well cared for, healthy and reasonably priced. I ended up buying one large, beautiful Butterfly Koi as it was a great price for the size and coloring (the one on the left), I also bought some pond plants that are thriving in my pond. Most places over charge for Koi and their plants die after a week or so. I highly recommend Uncle Ned's for your outdoor Koi pond needs. I'll be going again!

It's always fun to go in and see some fish enthusiast! They offer a great selection of fish, for every level of hobbyist. I especially like the selection of rare cichlids and rainbow fish!!

Best store ever, I start going there when I start the hobby and they advise me very well. I’ve been going there for 2 years now and it’s my favorite store, you guys rock!

One of the best LFS in the area. My go-to place since the past 6 years. Although a little pricey, their fish are healthy and they stock a huge variety. Everyone in the store are very helpful including Ned and his energetic brother!

Healthiest fish I've ever seen! Informed staff and a huge selection of rare and exotic fish. Prices a little high...

I had an absolute crisis with my tank and almost lost all my fish. The help I got here was both non judgmental and informative. It saved the majority of my animals and taught me a lesson.If you can think of it they probably have it in stock.I came right back here and got enough affordable plants to turn my tank into a jungle.The animals are healthy.The staff is great.The prices are reasonable.Whether you're just starting or looking for a cool place to help you continue your established hobby this place is it.

Best experience I've ever had at a fish store hands down, the staff there are very knowledgeable and eager to help with whatever you may need. Even though this store is over an hour away from me I will be going back every time I need something! Awesome selection of freshwater fish and plants.

I have been a customer here since Ned opened the store. Ned, Dan, and the crew are among the most knowledgeable people in the business, and get lots of high-quality fish, plants, and equipment. Neds was the first American store to correctly identify and stock the Siamese algae eater. Famous for cichlids, they also stock cool things like shrimp and killifish. Many of the killifish are locally-raised by my fellow Southern New England Killifish Association members! Ned's is centrally located and always worth the visit!Photo of a tank just planted with Anubias and subwassertang from Ned's.

I was calling all over town looking for fish emulsion, and these guys didn't have it either, but the lady on the phone today, Tue 9/21 around 2:10 (regrettably I didn't catch her name) was the most helpful person I talked to all day. Crazy awesome customer service. When we set up our aquaculture garden properly in the next week, these are officially our go-to guys! Great candor, good prices, very knowledgeable. Best service anywhere in S. Mass, I daresay. Wish they had safe & organic plant foods as well as non-food-grade, but we'll just make them ourselves since they are apparently scarce in these parts.

Would be giving a 5 star review if it weren’t for the last few times I’ve come in, they never have electric yellow labs in stock besides large ones or just a couple not very good specimens. I’ve been in the past and they had great stock of that fish, which is supposedly very common one of the employees told me a few weeks back. But I’ve come in early recently and still nothing much at all. Hoping they’ll be more soon or I’ll have to start looking elsewhere. I have gotten some great fish from them before.Edit: I checked it out again and did find some good yellow labs this time they were excellent. Also I do appreciate the owners response. Looking for a Red Empress cichlid and some Red Zebras now. Also haven’t seen any cobalt zebras for a bit. They’re a beautiful fish too.

The owner of the place is very nice but people or I don’t know if they’re his son or something they are far far far from nice and rude every time I go there , but I can tell by the body language because every time someone else going in they , treat them like a regular human being, but this will be my last time going there. I should not recommend anybody going to customer service bad because all I was trying to do is get food for my fish and I stayed at the register for like good time but we all know I think they just don’t like me but it doesn’t matter who you are you should not treat anybody that way and I drove from all the way to Pawtucket

Has to be one of the best resources for fish owners in the United States. Enormously experienced owners with an incredible variety of fish on display to buy and learn about.

Picked up 8 neon tetras and 3 ember tetras the other day. One poor little neon was DOA when I got home, guess the stress was too much. The other 10 fish are doing great - very robust and active, and not really very shy. They're all in a quarantine tank for a brief stay, then into the 20L with a few other embers and a platy. I can't wait to see if the store will get more embers in a couple weeks, and may also pick up a few more neons if still available.The store has alot of very interesting and unusual fish, lots and lots of gorgeous cichlids (makes me want to set up a shellie tank), and pretty goldfish. Their koi are beautiful, and now I want a pond! Were those mollies in with the koi? They also had lovely cardinal tetras and other tetra species.
