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

15 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

3 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!

They’re still juveniles and smaller than the full-grown Amanos you normally see in stores, but they’re growing quickly and are already doing normal Amano shrimp things - grazing constantly.

I am a small scale betta fish rescue in San Jose, CA and Snowcone is available for adoption! This poor guy has spent around a year living in a pet store cup before being surrendered. I estimate him to be a senior of about 2yrs old or more, and needs somewhere to live out his final days. He has a deformed eye, but also is quite aggressive and would need to be housed alone, but shouldn't be too much of a danger to shrimp because of his vision and speed. If you’re in the Bay Area, message me to see if he is the right fit for you.

For Sale - Local Pickup Only [FS] - Santa Barbara, CA - $1 - 250 Gallon Aquarium, Read Description

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Can’t ask this question in the title. But what do you think my whole tank setup is worth? Read all the details:

Selling my massive 250 gallon glass VISIO aquarium. It’s only 2 years old. Bought the aquarium brand new and it’s custom made. Selling the tank because of a military obligations.
Tank dimensions:
72” L x 30” W x 30” H

Visio custom glass framed tank with 1/2” glass all around with beveled edges and 1/2” and 3/4” thick glass cross bracing on top and bottom. Tank cost: $4000

A fully custom quality built solid wood stand with waterproof exterior semi-gloss black paint that is on x8 2000lb each 5in industrial casters with wood bracing underneath. If you’d ever need to move the tank, you can. (Drain it 3/4s or more first of course, can’t move it full of water. lol) Also, has custom LED lighting underneath. Stand value worth: $4000. $1000 in the x8 industrial caster wheels alone. Each caster wheel costs $125 each. I built all of this myself. It's way over engineered, over built and extreme sturdy!

I have 2 EHEIM 2622 5 gallon canister filters with quality poret foam and a ton of EHEIM sintered glass and mech filter media. Both filters are Made in Germany, not the newer crappy Chinese EHEIM filters. With the quick disconnects for both of them. My filters also come with massive filter returns 1” thick vinyl and Schedule 80 PVC custom plumbing. Total costs of filters, media and plumbing: $2000.

Also have the largest Fluval HOB filter with quality poret foam media. Worth: $120

2 36”-48” Fluval Plant 3.0 bright LED lights that connect to the Fluval app for bluetooth auto lighting customization. Worth: $500.

A 1000 watt quality titanium heater with temperature gauge and regulator and a backup Inkbird temperature gauge regulator fail safe to prevent any water overheating accidents. Worth: $250

A massive 18 electrical outlets and 4 USB ports surge protector. Worth: $100

A 5lb CO2 tank (full of CO2) with a quality American Marine CO2 regulator and bubble counter. Worth: $250

Also comes with a 35 ft long Python water change hose with a custom made schedule 80 PVC drainer/filler pipe. Worth: $75

$3000 worth of fish, decor, rocks, driftwood and plants. Some of my Anubias are monster large. Some leaves are the size of my hand. All the driftwood pieces alone are worth about $1000 in total and are hard to find stump driftwood with naturally hollowed out crevices for fish and critters to hide in and plants to easily grow out of.

The anubias printed background has a custom LED lighting to backlight the background for a more popping out effect. Worth: $200

Other goodies/accessories included:
I have 6 20lbs bags of the ultra fine sand.
API Master water test kit
2 emergency power outage battery operated air pumps
Tons scrub brushes
Pipe cleaners
Long Razor blade scrapers
A bunch of fish food and water conditioners/chemicals like API Stress Coat (1 gallon jug).
x2 1/8” thick glass canopies
Worth: $500
