Boardroom Aquariums in Fort Myers has carved out a reputation as the go-to aquarium shop for Southwest Florida's reef and freshwater hobbyists alike. Owner Mark and manager Frank lead a team that reviewers consistently praise not just for their depth of knowledge, but for their willingness to share it—walking customers through livestock selection, tank troubleshooting, and long-term success strategies without the upsell pressure. The store leans heavily into saltwater, and it shows.
Tanks brimming with hard corals, anemones, clams, and shrimp line the shop under the characteristic blue actinic lighting that serious reefers know well. One customer credited Mark with sourcing a custom 7-foot tank at a price that undercut every major competitor and local fish store in the area—a testament to the shop's commitment to accessible pricing across both livestock and equipment. Freshwater isn't an afterthought, either.
Fully aquatic plants, ramshorn snails, assassin snails, and a solid tropical fish selection keep planted-tank enthusiasts coming back. One reviewer proudly shared photos of thriving aquatic plants all sourced from Boardroom. What sets this Fort Myers shop apart from big-box retailers is the condition of the livestock and the cleanliness of the facility.
Multiple reviewers specifically call out how healthy the fish look—a detail that matters enormously when you're investing in a reef or community tank. The store also stocks a wide range of aquascaping materials, fish food, tanks, and consumables, making it possible to handle most project needs in a single visit. The staff earns particular trust by being honest about what customers actually need.
" Whether you're building your first saltwater setup or expanding a coral collection, Boardroom Aquariums delivers the combination of quality livestock, competitive pricing, and genuine expertise that Fort Myers and Cape Coral hobbyists depend on.

Great selection of aquatic fish, plants, aquarium supplies and aquascape materials. Competitive pricing and helpful staff. I will definitely be going back. All the fully aquatic plants in the images are plants I've purchased from Boardroom Aquatics. The shirmp, ramshorn snail and assassin snails as well.

A nice large variety of fish, knowledgeable staff members and willingness to share. Have purchased quite a few fish from this place, have had some illness, but was able to communicate and work through it together!

Great place for saltwater or fresh water fish! Mark the owner and Frank the manager are incredibly knowledgeable in well versed in the industry. I purchased my custom 7 ft tank from Mark. He was able to bring it in for less than all the major competitors and all the local fish stores. I am a bit of a savvy shopper and Mark always provides the best prices in town. What are your new or an experienced reefer this is a great store to go to.

Very nice! They had a wide variety of salt water fish and a couple selections of fresh water. I will say that they definitely focus more on the salt water fish and selling coral. We went to pick up some decorative rock and ended up leaving with a couple items. A very nice selection! They also sell supplies like fish food and tanks. The only thing I really had issues with is just that the blue light for the plants n fish were straining my eyes a bit but thats a me thing so please take that with a grain of salt. We went in pretty close to close but they treated us with respect and patience. Would recommend a visit even if its just to see some beautiful fish :)
