PSA 📢 Automated Transaction Flair is Now Live on r/AquaSwap 📢

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

After months of trying to build our own automated flair system, we've decided to implement a temporary solution to help automate transaction tracking while Reddit's API restrictions continue to make custom development difficult.

What's changing?

We've installed a bot that can automatically track completed transactions and update your flair.

Important: This bot does not distinguish between sales, purchases, or trades. Every successfully confirmed interaction counts as a single transaction toward your flair.

For example:

  • Buy → +1 transaction
  • Sell → +1 transaction
  • Trade → +1 transaction

The goal is to recognize successful community interactions regardless of the type of exchange, for now.

What happens to existing flairs?

To start, all users will begin at 0 tracked transactions as the bot begins building its database.

However, users who already have established AquaSwap flairs will not lose their standing:

  • Confirmed / Guaranteed / Veteran users will start at the appropriate threshold (give us a little time to fully implement)

If you previously had a legitimate transaction history that is not reflected by the new system, moderators may consider manually adjusting your flair. Any adjustments will require valid proof of completed transactions (such as previous confirmation history). Subject to our discretion and availability.

Why are we using this?

Many of you know we've been working on a custom solution for months. Unfortunately, Reddit API changes have made that significantly more difficult than expected. Rather than continue waiting indefinitely, we're rolling out this automated system so everyone can begin benefiting from automatic transaction tracking now.

This is intended as an interim solution. Once we're able to complete our own custom bot, we'll migrate to a more feature-rich system that more closely matches our original vision (and your flair count will import over, don't worry!)

Feedback and issues

As with any new system, there may be a few bumps along the way. If you notice an issue, have questions, or have suggestions, please leave a comment below or contact the moderators through Modmail.

Please keep in mind that this is not our own custom-built bot, so we do not have control over all of its functions or limitations. We will do our best to address issues where we can and pass along feedback that may help improve the system.

Thank you all for your patience while we've worked through this process. We appreciate everyone who has helped make r/AquaSwap a trusted community for aquarium hobbyists.

October 2026 Confirmed Swap Thread

4 Upvotes

Submit your swap confirmations below

Warning: The swap confirmation system is intended only for legitimate completed transactions. Abusing this system in any way, including submitting false confirmations, confirming swaps that did not occur, or attempting to manipulate swap counts, will result in a permanent ban from the subreddit.

How Does This Process Work?

Note: Swap confirmations may take a few minutes as the bot processes the confirmation.

After completing a swap, adhering to the rules listed above, either party involved should make a top-level comment (i.e., comment on the post, not on someone else's comment) declaring the swap In this comment, tag the other Redditor by typing their username, including the leading u/. This action serves a dual purpose: it notifies the other Redditor to confirm the swap, and it alerts u/swap-bot to monitor for the confirmation. The other Redditor should then reply to this comment (i.e., do not create another top-level comment; instead, reply to the initial comment) to indicate that the swap was successful.

Important: It's advisable to WAIT until the swap is successfully completed—meaning all money/items have been properly exchanged/received—before posting your confirmation.

Example: 1. u/AquaSwapM0d comments: Sold plants to u/AquaSwapB0t 2. u/AquaSwapB0t replies: Confirmed 3. u/swap-bot replies to u/AquaSwapM0d's comment indicating that their swap counts have been updated.

FAQ

  1. The bot mentioned that additional information is required. What should I do?

    If this occurs, it suggests that the bot couldn't find enough information to confirm the swap. Please message the moderators, who can review and approve the swap by replying Approved to your swap comment.

  2. The bot didn't respond to my comment. What's wrong?

    Did you comment Confirmed? If not, add a NEW comment reply stating Confirmed. Avoid editing the existing comment. If you did reply Confirmed but received no response, please message the moderators. The bot might be experiencing issues!

Giving Away - Local Pickup Only [GA] - Bay Area, CA - URGENT rehoming 3 pygmy cory catfish + 2 snails

9 Upvotes

UPDATE: I believe I have a home lined up, and will update here and to the swap thread once I give them over.


I have three old adult albino pygmy Cory catfish, 1 rabbit snail and 1 nerite snail, that need a new home urgently. I can no longer give them the best life they have been getting, and deserve.

I've had the corys since they were wee things, 0.75" little guys, fresh from the store, but I'm unsure of their current age. One is older, possibly 3yrs, the other two are younger, maybe 2yrs. The snails are of similar age, the rabbit being at least 3 years, ~3" long. Meaning they all may not have too much time left, but I want them to have the best rest of their lives; I can't give them that and it breaks my heart.

Additionally I managed to break their tank while trying to move it last night, and so they are currently living in a 5 gallon hardware store bucket. (I don't have another tank. Depending on rehoming interest/options, I may go purchase another tank, tho I'd rather not since I won't be keeping more fish. I will if I have to tho!)

Serious inquiries, please DM. I can give additional info there if needed.

Please, not judgement, no hate. This is so hard, asking for help, and I'm trying to do the right thing for these guys.

Just pay for shipping! Lots of baby snails in the pearl weed and I don’t feel comfortable tossing them in the trash when I trim the plants. Shipping is usually around 10 dollars, I take PayPal only. I might throw in a clipping of hydrocotyle sibthorpioides as well! I only have pink pearl ramshorn snails in the tank no other types of snails and no pests.

Hello! I have some ADF babies about a year old that I’m looking to sell $10 each (a deal is also possible if you purchase 3 or more.) I raised them from eggs! I’m in the Vancouver BC area. I have 8, all regular colouring (wild type I believe.) I can almost guarantee gender as well as they’re old enough now. Happy to answer questions! I would like to know that they’re going to a proper home as well so proof of a suitable habitat would be nice! These guys are super entertaining and friendly, fairly easy to care for and feed, and honestly so adorable! Also reposting because I forgot to add pics

I am a teenager getting into the fish keeping hobby. I grow my own plants and fish. Here are the things I have and their prices:

10-gallon - $15

15​-gallon cube: $25

20-gallon long/tall - $30

30-gallon: $40

Duckweed: $3 per scoop

I'm mainly looking for a male medaka or yellow-back shrimp for my breeding project​. I would also take other easy-growing plants. I would also consider any other fish supplies, like sponge filters, air pumps, etc (no HOB filters, sorry).

If you are not within the STL area, I cannot ship. Sorry. Also, these tanks are not mine. I am attempting to make my own business, and am trying to build a solid stock before the MASI Winter Swap. I bought them from various people and am unsure if they are ​leaking or not. They have not been used in the past year, though. I could reseal them again, for a price.

I'm working on breeding guppies and shrimp, coming soon ;)
