Twin shows for the aquatics segment

The Aqua show will once again take place in Telford in the UK from 12 to 14 October. Among players in the sector it has long been hailed as the leading trade show for aquariums and the category of water in the garden.

Taking place in tandem with Aqua for the first time this year is Water Alive, an aquatics fair for consumers. “Water Alive will be staged over two of the days and will give fish keepers the chance to see all the latest launches in one place,” say the organisers, adding: “One of the most exciting aspects of Water Alive will be the retail mall, where a mix of retailers will sell dry goods along with plants, corals and other invertebrates. There will be no live fish sales.”
