h4n Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Speedie quit the hobby basically. He has a few shrimp tanks for him self. But he started a new business making fishing lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenteam Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just for all the new people Speedie was a big time importer back in the day and was one of the few bringing in "rarer" shrimp stateside. This is his old facebook incase new people want to see what his stocks use to look like. https://www.facebook.com/SpeedieAquatics/photos_stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 It is to bad he has taken a elongated/permanent break from the hobby. We all enjoyed his pictures and shrimp. That is where all of my Taiwan Bees originated, was 10 TBs from Speedie Aquatics. Rodan76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Nick is good people for sure. One of the few importers I actually trusted back then. Rodan76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodan76 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 yeah some of my first TBs were from Speedie as well. And my original oebt are from him. I had been wondering lately where we was too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 To many other people were getting into the importing and the money wasn't worth the effort anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Just seen all the replies, honestly that's why I slowed down on the forums. Market was flooded and wasn't worth the effort to sell. Speedie had a ton invested and was selling out, suprised he left. It is a pain importing anyways. I was always getting undercutted and barely broke even half the time. Not that I was looking for a profit but it wasn't worth the effort of selling. It gave me time to focus more on the hobby that I love instead of a business aspect of it.

Fishprinceofca Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Speedie says "hi" to all the shrimpers out there. I messaged him on FB to see if he has any shrimp I could buy, and he's completely overtaken by his new hobby that he doesn't even have time to keep shrimp right now. He had a great run with shrimping, and it was lots of fun. He says maybe one day he'll be back. Here's to hoping!

DETAquarium Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Very sad to hear. BUT we knew he enjoyed fishing and if he is able to make a living doing what he enjoys then I am very happy for him.

SpeedieAquatics Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm still alive guys Appreciate all the love. I miss everything shrimp except the importing part lol. Being in the Bay when I was doing it hardcore was easy since SF was an international import hub. Moving to the Central Valley didnt help so I got into something else that I really love doing. Painting fishing lures and fishing at least once a week using my lures is my job now. Go LIKE my page on FB if you like to fish or just wanna follow me. www.facebook.com/SpeedLuresThanks all,Nick Duff0712, DETAquarium, svetilda and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
