Sandy's is by far the best pet store I've ever walked into. I started keeping fish a couple years ago, and I haven't found healthier fish anywhere. I won't buy any type of livestock anywhere else. Their livestock is a little more expensive than chain stores (like PetSmart), but in my opinion you pay for what you get, and here you get very well maintained creatures. Departments other than fish are well maintained as well...reptiles are healthy and I buy my feeder rodents for my snake there. The staff is very knowledgeable and will assist you without pestering or selling you things you don't need. I've found that shelf items are very comparable to chain store prices. I'm in there at least once a week. If you become a regular customer there it's like walking into your best friend's house, it's a very welcoming environment. It doesn't get any better than Sandy's.
Pros: healthy livestock, knowledgable staff, selection
