About Interpret
Interpet is driven by a passion for fishkeeping and a wealth of experience. With over a century of combined expertise, the team is ahead of innovation and competition.
Founded in the UK by Dr. Neville Carrington, a British chemist with a deep love for fishkeeping, Interpet has a rich history. Neville’s passion was inspired by his father, O.L. Carrington, who had been an avid fishkeeper since the 1930s. In the early 1950s, Neville and his father developed a formula for liquid fish food during a family holiday. This innovation, known as Liquifry, marked the birth of Interpet Ltd. In 2004, Interpet joined the Central Garden and Pet family, one of the largest pet and garden companies in the world. Today, Interpet continues to develop products with the same passion and creativity that Neville had, making fishkeeping easier and more enriching for everyone.
