We Are NT Labs
Ever since our launch in 1982, NT Labs has led the way in research and development within the aquatic industry. As a proud UK-based, multi-award-winning manufacturer, we offer a wide range of products, including aquarium maintenance accessories, water treatments, fish medicines, water testing kits, and fish foods. Our products cater for koi keepers, pond enthusiasts, aquascapers, axolotl keepers and both freshwater and marine aquarium hobbyists. The name "NT Labs" reflects our dedication to innovation because after all, "NT" stands for New Technology!
In 2007, we became the first UK manufacturer to receive a Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) license for small animal medicines (SAM0001). This license allows us to produce veterinary medicines for ornamental fish, ensuring full compliance with stringent VMD requirements. Unlike others in the industry who outsource their medicine production, we take pride in managing this process in-house, upholding the highest standards of quality and safety.
We are also fully compliant with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), demonstrating our commitment to providing top-quality products. Behind NT Labs is a dedicated team of biologists, production experts, quality control specialists, and sales and marketing professionals, all working from our facility in the southeast of England.
We are passionate about supporting independent aquatic retailers. We believe independent retailers are the backbone of the industry, offering not only high-quality livestock but also invaluable advice that makes us all better fish keepers.

We have been working closely with NT labs for many years now. We stock their Pond range and test kits, we strongly believe they are the best liquid test kits on the market, we use them in-store and have sold many over the years. Last year we have began stocking more of their fantastic ranges including their Pro-f food range and Aquarium range of water treatments.

“I Just wanted to say thank you for the help with bacterial issues I had in my pond. I can happily say that the mouth rot of one fish and the fin rot of two others has cleared up to near perfection now. I have been really impressed with the service from your technical team. I have already recommended online that people ask NT Labs about their products and recommended usage.”

Your Probiotic food is absolutely brilliant! I bought twenty one 1 year old Japanese Koi via a fish farm in Ogata, Japan about 3 years ago. I’ve been feeding them on Probiotic and Probiotic Growth in the summer months. Some of are now 2ft in length and of superior quality. It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I have used many products for the eradication of aiptasia over the last 15 years. Often with poor results. After purchasing the Anti-Aiptasia, I was astonished with the results! Absolutely fantastic and not like the competitors which normally contains some form of hydroxide. I would highly recommend NT Labs Anti-Aiptasia. This is arguably the best in the market!

We use Blanketweed Balance, and find it highly successful in the battle against Blanketweed.
We recommend it to all of our customers and feedback is very positive.
It is now our best selling Blanketweed treatment.
Another top quality product from NT Labs

I work at a pet store in Durban (South Africa) and have had the best results with my salt water aquariums that I have EVER seen. I have been in the industry for about 10 years now and seriously recommend the products supplied by NT Labs. All our customers that have used anti-aiptasia swear by this product and have said that it over rules every other product out there. Highly recommended.

"I called your offices for support and was put in touch with one of your Aquatic Biologists. He has been incredibly helpful...
Without your help, my fish would be suffering and I might have had to stop keeping Koi. I cannot recommend your products, or staff, enough."
John - Customer Service Review
I’ve used and sold NT Labs products for many years. Now I have my own shop I always recommend their products as I know the quality is there and trust that my customers will see this too. They are a great company to deal with and always find Nigel, my sales representative is so helpful.
