I like to come here often and each time there is something fun to see. These cats have big personalities too, and not everyone plays nice. The large family of cats includes: Mom and her sister dad 2 cubs approximately 1 year old 4 cubs approximately 6 months old. So momma kitty is really possessive and likes things just her way. She won't let her sister anywhere near her cubs. She did not introduce the 2 older cubs to the family, they only get to hang wiuth eachother. The most interesting scenario includes Mom, dad and their 4 giant babies. Crowds go nuts when all 6 kitties are in the showcase cage.

For the Ichthyophiles in Escondido, you probably already know of The Love Aquarium on E Valley…read moreParkway, between Midway and Citrus on the south side of E Valley Parkway. Tucked away in an innocuous mall, as soon as you enter the driveway The Love Aquarium is straight ahead. Visiting The Love Aquarium is a tranquil experience away from the warm, dusty Eastside of Escondido. The employees are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have all the supplies you need to care for your aquarium, better than the pet store on the other end of Valley Parkway. You can learn a lot about the various aquatic creatures by just looking at the tanks upon tanks of fishes and asking questions on their journey from whatever exotic locations they came from. So, if you need help, supplies, advice or recommendations, come here ready to be educated and explore The Love Aquarium!!! Definitely a return visit call!!! I'll be back!!!

Live Water Aquariums Transformed My San Diego Koi Pond - Absolutely Awesome Service!…read moreI can't say enough good things about Live Water Aquariums! They recently came out to my home in sunny San Diego for a full pond tune-up on my backyard koi setup, and wow--what a difference. The owner Mark himself showed up right on time, rolled up his sleeves, and dove right in (pun intended). He inspected everything from the filtration system to the water chemistry, cleared out some stubborn algae buildup, and even balanced the pH levels on the spot--our San Diego hard water can be tricky, but he nailed it without a hitch. My koi are swimming happier than ever, and the water is crystal clear, just like the Pacific on a good day. What's even better is that we signed up for their monthly maintenance plan on the spot. For a reasonable fee, they handle all the routine stuff--skimming debris, checking the pump and UV sterilizer, adding those beneficial bacteria to keep things eco-balanced, and monitoring ammonia/nitrite levels so I don't have to stress. No more weekend warrior sessions for me; I can just kick back in my backyard and enjoy the show. The guy is genuinely awesome--super knowledgeable, friendly, and treats your pond like it's his own. He shared tips on winterizing for our mild SoCal climate (like insulating the heater lines come December) and even recommended some hardy water lilies that thrive here. If you're in the San Diego area and need pro help for your pond or aquarium, Live Water Aquariums is the real deal. They've got my lifelong business. 10/10, would recommend to every fish-loving neighbor!
