The entrance may take a moment to find, but what's inside rewards the effort: a clean, meticulously maintained store packed with healthy tropical fish, aquatic plants, driftwood, and stones. The livestock selection is what sets Lucky's apart. Regulars rave about the sheer variety of oddball and exotic species — L46 Zebra Plecos, elephant nose fish, bichirs, stingrays, peacock eels, gobies, and discus share space with community staples like Harlequin Rasboras, cloud minnows, neon tetras, and honey gouramis. The cichlid selection runs deep, and the shrimp offerings — including yellow Neocaridina — draw planted tank enthusiasts from well beyond Worcester. Betta keepers will find quality stock here too, with multiple reviewers picking up fish for sorority tanks. Live plants are a particular strength, with affordable pricing that keeps hobbyists coming back. The driftwood and stone selection adds to the appeal for anyone building a natural aquascape. The staff, led by owner Dylan and frequently praised employee Tom — described by one 30-year hobbyist as "a national treasure" — are genuinely passionate and knowledgeable. They'll steer you toward the right solution rather than the most expensive one, and they've stayed past closing time to make sure a customer gets the fish they called about. The shop also ships fish, though experiences with shipping have been mixed. Lucky's keeps customers in the loop through an actively updated Facebook page with current inventory lists, sales announcements, and delivery schedules — new stock typically arrives Sunday into Monday, making Mondays the prime shopping day. Fair pricing and frequent sales make this a store where you can indulge without guilt. For anyone keeping freshwater or saltwater tanks in central Massachusetts, Lucky's has earned its reputation one healthy fish at a time. ## Specializations - **Water Types**: Freshwater, Saltwater - **Livestock & Products**: Live Plants, Bettas, Shrimp, Cichlids, Discus, Rare Species, Tetras, Plecos, Invertebrates - **Services**: Consultation, Ships Fish, Delivery - **Known For**: Premium Equipment, Knowledgeable Staff, Healthy Fish ## Highlights - Exceptional variety of rare and exotic species including L46 Zebra Plecos, stingrays, bichirs, elephant nose fish, and discus - Affordable live plants, quality driftwood, and natural stones for planted tank setups - Actively updated Facebook page with current inventory and frequent sales - Passionate, knowledgeable staff praised by hobbyists with 30+ years of experience - New livestock deliveries on Sundays with best selection available Mondays ## Customer Reviews **"Gary “Chief” Edwards"** - 5/5 - 3 weeks ago > Went to a big box pet store and on a whim. We (wife) and I wanted to purchase a Betta fish and some supplies. No employees around to assist or ask questions too. So I did a quick Google search which led us to Lucky's aquarium. What a great tip! Super helpful employees who got us up and running. A great selection of fish and plants and very knowledgeable. This place is a local gem. **"Katie Jamieson"** - 5/5 - a month ago > Hands down the best fish store. Really great quality. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Prices are fair, all my fish have been super healthy and parasite free. Would recommend checking the Facebook page or shooting them a call to make sure they’re open because life happens. Have a great rotating stock. I’ll only buy fish from here **"J Toto"** - 5/5 - 2 months ago > Great place good price **"katherine Mejia"** - 5/5 - 3 months ago > Excellent knowledge **"Dan Souza"** - 1/5 - 3 months ago > Had a fish shipped to me that was half dead. Dylan asked for pictures then said that's technically live arrival 😂 lol. Don't waste your time or money with that POS. **"Sophia DiLoreto"** - 3/5 - 4 months ago > Very good customer service. Bought 2 Honey Gourami and a mystery snail and they have been doing great. However, I bought 6 neon tetra and they 5/6 died within two days. They showed signs of Neon Tetra Disease almost immediately after bringing them home. Could’ve been a bad batch but disappointing nonetheless. **"Pinina Rodriguez"** - 3/5 - 5 months ago > Really nice place and staff are really helpful **"Masta _Che"** - 5/5 - 6 months ago > Got my 2 elephant noses. Will come soon for more fishes. Alot more variety than expected. Great service. **"Eliza Cresler"** - 4/5 - 6 months ago > Nice small business aquatics store various fish and aquatic plant selection a little pricey and not the easiest to find the entrance but the worker was helpful and friendly **"Gabb y"** - 5/5 - 7 months ago > Soooo cute the stingray ## Nearby Stores - [Central Mass Reptiles & Exotics](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/sutton/central-mass-reptiles-and-exotics) - Sutton, MA - 4.9/5 - [European Aquatics Inc.](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/malden/european-aquatics-inc) - Malden, MA - 4.9/5 - [Aquastetics](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/fall-river/aquastetics) - Fall River, MA - 4.8/5 - [Love The Reef](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/wilmington/love-the-reef) - Wilmington, MA - 4.8/5 - [Reef Exclusive](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/tewksbury/reef-exclusive) - Tewksbury, MA - 4.8/5 - [Imperial Exotics](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/springfield/imperial-exotics) - Springfield, MA - 4.7/5 --- *Source: [FishStores.org](https://www.fishstores.org/massachusetts/worcester/luckys-aquarium)* *Last updated: February 7, 2026*
