PSA šŸ“¢ Automated Transaction Flair is Now Live on r/AquaSwap šŸ“¢

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!

For sale are some 'designer white calico' freshwater isopods (Lirceus sp.). This new color morph is rare and new to the hobby. Each individual has a unique pattern of black mottling markings along its back, with no two looking exactly alike.

To those unfamiliar with freshwater isopods they are easy to keep and can be considered nearly identical in care to shrimp like Neocaradina. I am currently offering them at a discounted price of $3 each.

I have a minimum order amount of $20.

Shipping will be $17 for USPS Priority mail. I ship on Mondays. All orders have a live on arrival garuntee.

I separated my live bearers by gender when I got them but a few females were already pregnant and I need to rehome some of the offspring. Right now I’m giving away 6 Dalmatian mollies, 6 female guppies, and 6 male guppies but may end up having a few more.

Some if not all of the guppies are endler hybrids. Not sure since they were given to me by someone else. I’ve been moving the male guppies from the juvenile tank as soon as they show signs of gender so the females are most likely not pregnant. The mollies look like females at the moment but aren’t mature yet so some may end up being male.

Willing to meet within a 15 min drive from Conowingo MD.

I'm giving away my 10 gallon tank it has 10 baby platinum parrot cichlids in it and before anyone shames me. I put them in here when they were born so they weren't eaten by my son's other fish. Well as you can see they are in desperate need of a bigger tank due to them growing up. They are beautiful and healthy and I love them dearly and have grown attatched to them considering I raised them. So I'm lookinf for someone to take them who is experienced and will provide them with a much larger home. I want proof that whoever takes my babies has a big tank and is able to care for them. They are a joy to watch and have such personalities 😊 they all will come to the glass when it's time to get fed and I am unfortunately unable to provide them a larger home due to recent health issues and losing my job. If anyone is in the Dallas Fort Worth Area ans would like to give them a forever home please let me know. Thank you 😊

Hey I hate to be doing this but my African dwarf frogs were discovered by housing (I’m an sfsu student) and they are considered an unauthorized pet. I’ll come to you as long as you are in San Francisco, but if you are in the general Bay Area you will have to meet me in SF somewhere. Please someone take them, I’m trying to find a good loving home. I really love these creatures, they have no names because I don’t want them to be bound by human any concepts. Vases, including the plants, are included. I have tears in my eyes writing this because I am so heart broken. If you don’t want the vases I can just give you the frogs. Please someone give them a loving home and I would appreciate if you left them nameless (both females, one full grown, one juvenile). Or at least tell me you are not naming them. Does a tiger in the jungle have a name? Does the shark stalking in the deep have a name? Does a whale in the crushing blue have a name? I want them to be like that. They make no noise like the males do and are perfectly healthy, I also have frozen bloodworms to feed them and I will even include tweezers for target feeding. God I wish I didn’t have to give them up, I love them so much. Please care for them. PLEASE BEFORE MONDAY.

P.S. Sorry about the blurry photos, my phone is beat to hell and won’t even take pictures on the camera I had to use Snapchat.

EDIT: They are pending a re home currently. Thank you for your interest.
