So dissappointed... – Being new in town I was told to shop at Sandy's for my salt water fish & corals. I was shocked that the man working there gave me the opposite information from what I've known in keeping salt water tanks for over 37 years. He advised me I didn't need the protein skimmer I had, (which I definitely do) how he managed to sway me to products instead of fish and corals I don't remember...they are like good/bad car salesman. I purchased 2 clowns and various coral...they all died. I took water samples back...n... read more

There fish are in poor health – I started going to this store and loved it. It was the highest quality you could find. The last few times I went in 80% of the fish where sick and dieing. I'm talking skin and bones. Really sad and makes me sick. Bruce if you read these please get your house in order. Be the best at what you do. I know a fish or two may come in sick but what I'm seeing is neglect.

Fantastic Store – 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... read more

My first and last time shopping there – I was in Sandy's pet shop sat. derby day 5-1-2010 cause my pet shop Exotic Reefs and Pets where closed. When I first walked in I found what I was looking for but the 2 girls that where working one was talking to a customer no big deal but the other one was just sitting on the counter while I stood in plain view of the rat, mice, gerbil setups and stood there for about 10 mins before I decided to point at her and say I need help, that was strike one :"NO customer in your place of busine... read more

Used to shop at Sandy's – I started shopping at Sandy's because they used to be a good pet shop. I was warned that they were very pricey on their goods, but, they had good livestock. Well, a few thousand dollars later I have two tanks, two protein skimmers, two filters, and two way over priced lighting fixtures, all of which I paid about 50% more than I would have anywhere else, not to mention a lot of salt water creatures. Then two months after the purchase of a $180.00 light it went out and all of my corals were going to d... read more

Way to high in prices – They Grab fish with hands instead of scooping them into a plastic container. Almost walked out but needed the perpermint shrimp to get rid of the Aiptasia on the Live rock that I purchased from them. Do not buy their Live rock. Has sponges Fire worms, Bristle worms , and the aiptasia which terminated several of My clowns before I found out what it was. Glass anemones are a bad thing. One of their staff also just told me to throw the fish in the tank, they don't need to be acclimated. I have a very har... read more

AWEFUL PET STORE – Iwas in there today. There marine tanks are full of aptasia. There service is aweful and their prices are outrageous. Neverless I bought some small hermitcrabs and snails for my marine tank. The sales staff knows very little about what they are doing and were sticking their barehands in the tank to remove livestock. I asked for some extra shells for the tiny herrmits. They brought out a bucket i pulled out a handful 20 or so and they said they were a 1$ a piece. Any decent LFS would had gladly given them t... read more

Best Pet Shop In Town – I am here to say, when we arrived here from Florida we were met with one disappointment after another when it came to pet shops. Until we found SANDY'S PET SHOP Hers is absolutely the best and the cleanest and well maintained we have found since we have been in KY. We are from a state where all Pet shops are regulated by the Florida fish and wild life commission. Where I was a licensed bird breeder. I still breed birds and I have to say the only place I will deal with here until I find another compara... read more
