Natural Environment Aquatix has earned a devoted following across Northeast Florida — so devoted that some customers drive 90 minutes from Gainesville just to shop here. With locations including their expanded Mandarin store in Jacksonville, NEA focuses squarely on freshwater fish and plants, stocking everything from neon tetras and Bolivian rams to hillstream loaches and bettas, all displayed in meticulously maintained, heated tanks that keep fish visibly healthy and active. The store's commitment to fish health is evident the moment you walk in.
Tanks are clean and well-organized, and new fish and live plants arrive at least every couple of weeks to keep the selection fresh. Staff members like Kat, Alyssa, Sarah, Connor, John, and Brian are frequently called out by name in reviews — a testament to the personal relationships they build with customers. Kat in particular has earned a reputation for going above and beyond, taking extra time to help customers choose the right livestock and supplies for their freshwater setups.
Alyssa has been praised for her expertise in betta tank configuration, walking newcomers through the entire process. Beyond retail, NEA offers robust home services that set them apart. Their team handles tank cleaning, deep maintenance, disassembly, moving, and setup — a 55-gallon tank relocation, for instance, was handled seamlessly by Brian and John, who arrived with all necessary equipment.
Monthly maintenance subscriptions are available for ongoing care. They also ship live fish, with customers reporting healthy arrivals through the mail. The store carries Aquarium Co-op products alongside a broad range of aquarium supplies and dry goods.
One note worth mentioning: some customers have reported pest snails hitchhiking on live plants, so an inspection or quarantine at home is wise. For Jacksonville-area freshwater enthusiasts looking for healthy fish, quality plants, and a team that genuinely cares about your tank's success, Natural Environment Aquatix delivers on every front.

There is no exchange/replacement even if the fish died same day and they give lame excuses/reasons. I got 3 B Rams and one died and they are justifying saying they could fight each other and what not. When we get three they did not tell anything about it and after that saying if one female with 2 males they could fight and get killed (they might as well give 3 females or 3 males). I am not going back ever.

Great variety of fish and aquarium needs but giving 4 start for the atmosphere and the live plants that I bought here came with lots of pest snails.

Mandarin store. Shop and tanks were clean and well organized. Alyssa was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions concerning a new betta tank set up. New fish and live plants coming in, at least, every couple of weeks. Would highly recommend the store.
