PATS 2025
Aquatics Zone New Product Award Winners
Indoor
AxoStart
NT Labs (stand K20)
Judges said: AxoStart is a product that stands on its own, and is designed specifically for the growing-in-popularity market of axolotls. This overtakes normal dechlorinators as it is species specific.
Outdoor
Orbis Pond
Velda (stand L18)
Judges said: This is a visually appealing product for all pond keepers, new and old. It is compact, easy to use and comes at a bargain price.
Reptile
Arcadia Evo Rx
Monkfield Reptile (stand K30/L29)
Judges said: This is a fantastic new product that fills a much-needed gap in the market at a good price. It will be useful addition to the current food offerings.
