125 gallon SPS & LPS reef system with fish…read more I had an emergency tank removal and long term livestock storage (3-6 months) request October 2019. Then COVID happened... I understand the lag with the reinstallation, establishment and acclimation, thats a nonissue. However, I was assured my tank would be transported and quarantined appropriately and healthily...that was not the case! Chris was very friendly, accommodating and helpful with the $3400 project of relocating and storing my tank. It WAS dingy, but it was still a healthy ecosystem! Every time, he showed up ~around~ the agreed time, and seemed frazzled and rushed; I do understand and appreciate fast paced work. Mind you, he was careless with my respawned-dead-coral and my coral-bearing live rock. See the pics below. He broke most of the REAL coral pieces I had and "lost" or killed the rest. What I had respawned was OBVIOUSLY left in the can for months on a patio. Killing everything! I was told it would be taken care of...not the case! After months of waiting (due to the shutdown) we scheduled a setup and he provided the water (brackish at best, 1.016) and "dead rock" and a fraction of, my coral, but not the valuable branch and stag horn coral pieces I had previously. Nor MY fish, or colonies... he did offers a few condolence fish and cheap--cheap corals (lacking color to this day) and a sob story about how he had a "bad order" that killed everything of mine and most of his tank as well. Most of what he brought died within 72 hours... All the while, I was told my tank would be quarantined for the health of both systems...definitely not the case! After a few months of establishment with my "dead rock" and my own cleanings and water changes he calls to bring my livestock back and do a cleaning and a water change. I was appreciative but nervous, to say the least, as I had already put new animals in. However, he WAS gracious enough to use my test kit to check my basic water parameters. Ammonia, PH and nitrites (a 5 minute job I usually do myself) and add a bucket of his water, due to evap...which raised my salinity from 37 to 40. It took another 6 1/2 months to find another 3.5" porcupine puffer, a yellow tang, that died after a few weeks, and a blue tang that actually survived, after the second try... Previously, I had an 8" porcupine pufferfish that was VERY happy, not finicky and non-aggressive. He had a personality and, believe it or not, learned tricks! They're one of the smartest fish in the ocean. Yet, in return, I got an aggressive (wild) baby that wont eat when fed. He likes my inverts more. I've lost stars, coral, hermits, emerald, crabs and even cleaner shrimp... After all this, I talked to him about just having my tank back, nothing more, nothing less. Yet, in a seemingly childish response he brought me a dozen 'low-grade' corals, I didn't have before, didn't want, and didn't need and refused to take them back in a effort to quell my disdain. He reluctantly agreed to a ~one week warranty on everything he delivered but when I told him all but two them were dead within days, forcing me to do a 50% water change, he shrugged it off. Leaving me with a bland polyp colony and a dying hairy mushroom. He WAS, however, helpful with having my acrylic tank buffed to a 'minimum' standard which was appreciated. Im still missing pieces...

After a minor flood in my home, I needed to get my 180-gallon freshwater aquarium moved so new…read moreflooring could be installed. I did some research, requested price quotes, and finally settled on Chris at LotsaFishies because he had good reviews, was extremely responsive, and affordable. Chris was great at providing invoices promptly so I could coordinate with my insurance company for payment. The initial plan was to move the tank to another room in my home, then return it to the original location after the flooring was installed. In the midst of repairs, we purchased a new home. Chris was very flexible with the changing timeline and scope of work. He partnered with me to coordinate a schedule that worked to move the tank after closing escrow on the new home but quick enough to not delay the repairs on our existing home. Both moves were done quickly at the agreed-upon time without any issues. I would recommend Chris and LotsaFishies for any of your aquarium needs.

We brought our daughter in to find a reptile for her 10th birthday. We were starting from scratch…read moreand had a lot of questions about "beginner" reptiles. We went in to look at crested geckos, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. Jesus helped us and answered EVERY single question we had about each one. He showed us babies and adults. He also told us about ball pythons. My daughter was able to hold them, too. Jesus was so patient and knowledgeable about all the reptiles. He gave us pros and cons of each. He gave my daughter time to decide and also showed her the insects and mice each one would eat. This was important to my daughter. He spoke not only to us (the adults) but really spoke with my daughter, too! We can't recommend LLL Reptile enough and are so thankful for all of Jesus' help! We now have a new pet that we are all living... even my daughter's twin sister who is not a big fan of reptiles. My daughter decided on a ball python! Thank you Jesus for your patience, knowledge, and kindness!

Now I love coming into this location- Evan is always super helpful, friendly and I can rely on him for any questions I have. He has an amazing attitude with everything! Jesus always helps direct me on where to find things and super knowledge about large snakes in particular. I used to see Josh at the Escondido location and its been a pleasure seeing him at Oceanside as I frequent here now. Always had a smile, welcomes everyone, and ready to help. There also used to be a gross incense burning that made me want to get in and out asap. Now that it isn't burning anymore I like to walk around and look at the reptiles to see if there are any new ones to add. Only rating 4 stars because the heat in there during the autumn & summer is sweltering! I feel so bad for the employees working under such hot conditions.

I have to take a minute to write this review because everyone at LLLReptile truly went above and…read morebeyond for our family. For my son's fourth birthday, my husband and I decided to surprise him with a frog. He had been asking for one for months, and the day before his birthday, we finally decided to make it happen. We had done quite a bit of research into what owning a poison dart frog would entail, but we had never actually owned a frog before, so I definitely still had a lot of questions. I went into LLLReptile the day before my son's birthday, and Niko spent so much time with me. He walked me through the entire process, answered all of my questions, and made sure I actually understood what we were getting into and how to properly care for our new frog. We decided to have LLLReptile build us a custom terrarium, and I was originally quoted a 24 to 48 hour turnaround. Since my son's birthday was the very next day, Niko suggested that I take the frog home in a small temporary enclosure so I would at least have something to give my son on his actual birthday. Then, later that same day, Niko called me and told me he had rushed the terrarium so it would be ready in time for my son's birthday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it back over there before they closed, but I was honestly blown away that he had gone out of his way to get it finished so quickly for us. The next day, I brought my son with me to pick it up, and the terrarium was absolutely beautiful. It had live plants, water features, and Niko had even incorporated skeletons because I had mentioned how much my son loves them. There was a skeleton water dish and a skull tucked into the habitat. Those little details made it feel like it had been created specifically for him, and seeing it on his birthday made the whole experience even more special. Niko wasn't there when we picked it up, but Shane was, and Shane was every bit as warm, patient, and helpful. Shane also owns poison dart frogs, so having that firsthand experience was incredibly valuable for me as a brand-new frog owner. Shane walked me through the differences between male and female poison dart frogs, shared what to expect as we get started, and even gave me tips and tricks for dealing with the fruit flies. I just felt like everyone at LLLReptile genuinely cared about making this experience as wonderful as possible for our family. Between the education, the time they spent answering my questions, the care that went into the terrarium, and the extra effort they made to have everything ready for my son's birthday, they exceeded every expectation. My son was absolutely thrilled, and I could not write this review fast enough. Thank you to Niko, Shane, and everyone at LLLReptile for helping make his fourth birthday so special. We are so excited to be new frog owners!

It has been almost 2 1/2 yrs since our 13yr old Cavalier KCS Spaniel passed away and several months…read moresince my eldest moved 7-hrs away with her tortoiseshell that I'd care for, every other weekend. We (husband, teens, & myself) have missed having another furry member around - albeit we also have a hamster, but they are nocturnal so we only get to interact at night with him. I started to look around for rescues, gathered names, and ended up opting for LYFF after spending weeks just looking at pictures and reading bio's, until I was ready. I have no doubt that I selected the best-to-me rescue as everyone I interacted with was extremely courteous and easy to talk to between the application interviewer (Daisy) and the volunteer staff both at the cat event off Marron and the facility itself. We ended up adopting our sweet and cuddly boy we renamed Jasper from Amele. Tomorrow will be a week since we welcomed our fur-baby into our home and are overjoyed by our decision and him picking us when at the facility. I can only speak for myself and my experience: If you're looking to add a cat to your family then I'd highly recommend LYFF.

I had a very disappointing experience with LYFF. I submitted an adoption application because I was…read moreinterested in providing a loving home to one of their cats, and I was ultimately told that my application was not approved. When I reached out for clarification, I received a response stating that the decision was not specific to a particular cat and that I would not be approved for any future adoptions through the organization. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of explanation or transparency. I completely understand that rescues have to be careful about where their animals are placed, and I respect the volunteers who dedicate their time to helping cats. However, that does not excuse treating applicants as though they are not entitled to basic communication or respect. After being denied, I was given no explanation whatsoever beyond a generic message saying the decision was final. When I expressed my confusion and disappointment, the response essentially amounted to "we don't have to tell you why," followed by a lengthy explanation about how carefully they review applications. That may be their policy, but hiding behind a policy does not make the experience feel any less frustrating or impersonal. If you are going to ask applicants to provide extensive information about their home, lifestyle, references, and ability to care for an animal, I think it is reasonable for applicants to expect some level of transparency in return--especially when they are genuinely trying to provide a loving home. I would have appreciated a respectful conversation or even a basic explanation of what concern led to the decision. Instead, I was left feeling judged without being given an opportunity to understand or address whatever concern they had. I hope they reconsider how they communicate with potential adopters. The process made me feel as though I was being discriminated against based on factors unrelated to my ability to provide a safe, loving, and stable home. The animals deserve excellent homes, and the people applying deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect, too.
