About
Aqua Mart Aquariums has been a fixture in the Brevard County aquarium scene for years, anchored by owner Jason — known affectionately as "Fishboy" — whose round-the-clock dedication to the hobby is evident the moment you walk through the door. Located in Port St. John, Florida, this independent fish store serves both freshwater and saltwater enthusiasts with a broad livestock selection and the kind of personalized guidance that big-box retailers simply can't match.
The saltwater side is well-stocked with corals, tangs, and various invertebrates like snails, while freshwater keepers will find cichlids known for impressive size and coloring, angelfish, GloFish, and a rotating selection of live plants. Multiple reviewers have noted that fish purchased here thrive long-term, and Jason is regularly credited with helping first-time saltwater hobbyists avoid costly mistakes. He'll spend real time with you — whether you're setting up a 125-gallon tank after decades away from the hobby or troubleshooting water chemistry on a new setup.
Water testing is a core service here, and customers routinely bring samples in before adding new fish. Jason's willingness to go beyond normal business hours speaks volumes: one customer recounts how he left jugs of prepared water outside the shop after hours when their tank sprung a leak. That's the kind of emergency responsiveness that builds fierce loyalty.
The store carries a solid range of dry goods, equipment, and fish food alongside its livestock. Prices are competitive with online retailers, which several customers specifically called out as a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is practical rather than polished — the sheer volume of tanks means some algae is inevitable — but the focus is clearly on healthy animals and honest advice.
For aquarists in the Port St. John and greater Titusville area, Aqua Mart is the kind of local fish store that earns repeat visits through expertise, fair pricing, and genuine care for the hobby. Jason and his team make it a destination worth the drive across Brevard County.

Customer reviews
“Great service and selection.”
— Nick Parish5.02 hours ago“I was an avid breeder of tropical fish in the 60’s to early 90’s. Had to let the hobby step aside. Raising kids, they all played sports and band. Before you know it, college. Well I’m retired now and recently purchased a complete setup and a 125 gallon aquarium. Jason remembered me from the old store in Titusville. Jason spent a lot of time with me catching up on some progress in the last 30 years. He is very knowledgeable and brought me up to par. To get back in the hobby. Jason will always be my go to guy for anything forward from here. Thanks again Jason and staff.”

— Patricia Walker5.0a week ago“Highly recommended to stop by. The owner is very knowledgeable. He has been extremely helpful in getting me started on my first saltwater aquarium. I am very glad he is around because at this point I am sure I would have killed most if not all of my fish by now if it wasn't for him.”
— Justin Porter5.0a week ago“We are always given the time and explanations that we are looking for ... thanks ...”
— Jeff Rung5.0a month ago“Great local fish store. Wide selection of fish and i've had no issues with any of the plants or fish i've bought and Fishboy is amazing to talk to and learn from. I had a problem with my tank when first starting it up and after his advice the tank is doing amazing.”
— Mystic Sticker5.0a month ago“Super friendly and knowledgeable. Good assortment of creatures and corals.”
— Lisa Thompson5.0a month ago““Fishboy” goes above & beyond to help you with all things fish health & tanks. ALL of the fish & tank life (coral, snails, etc.) in his possession in the store are well taken care of. I pretty much won’t shop anywhere else for the live items/fish themselves. I have a dog who needs grooming & my kids always love the big box stores for tank items so that’s the only reason we wind up there. Aquamart & crew are ALWAYS friendly, always working, and always thorough!”
— Stephanie Scoggins5.0a month ago“Aquamart aquariums is the only place we’ll go for our aquatic needs. We like to change our tank up going from Chiclids to Angel fish to a less aggressive tank. The Aquamart team always takes the time to ensure you have the best mixture for the fish type. Always testing my water to verify all levels are good especially when looking to add more fish. Highly recommend if you’re just starting or looking to expand your aquarium.”
— Marlene Surowitz5.0a month ago“Awesome shop with great selection of sealife and very knowledgeable staff.”
