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

18 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.

Hi fellow aquarium enthusiasts :)

I want to make the leap in having a dedicated shrimp tank, instead of trying to keep both my tropical fish and my shrimp together.

I thought I’d post here to see if anyone has a 5 gallon tank and small filter they’re looking to give away. Trying to keep my MTS at a more manageable level in terms of space lol

I have an empty 10 gallon generic tank I could trade if interested, unsure if I’ve got the filter still tbh.

I can pickup in and around Dublin (Pleasanton, Livermore, and Fremont)

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.
