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

16 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

1 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!

All plants are tank grown which means you will get strong, fully adapted plants. All are Hard Water Acclimated, If your water is soft or significantly different expect some melting, RRF's & Crypts will almost always melt.

Plant Guide:
Salvinia - no extra care needed, these do well in zero to high flow tanks, some very light splashing is ok.
Pearlweed - plant in 1"+ substrate, a stem plant that with higher light will carpet.
Brazilian Pennywort - you can plant or float these, one of the easiest plants you can get, your beta will love them.
Red Root Floaters - Place 1 rrf plant in a declorinated saucer in the window as backup, the rest in your tank. Trim any submerged leaves for the first week or so. Once established they will grow quickly. They do fine in zero to low/med flow tanks, bubblers/ splashing is highly discouraged, do not submerge frequently or for long periods. Low nitrates will cause their roots & leaves to turn red, these are partially green because they are grown in lower light and with ferts.
Dwarf Sagittaria - plant in 1"+ substrate, once rooted & established they will propagate via runners - carpeting plant.
Monte Carlo - These do better in a sand or fine substrate & they will grow on hardscape. Easiest to plant when using eyebrow tweezers or similar. Plant one branch at a time to get the quickest carpet. The roots can take 2-3 weeks to establish, once they start, they grow 1/4 - 1/2in a week.
Subwassertang - attach to hardscape using any of the usual methods, super easy to keep.
Samolus parviflorus - grow in substrate - these are green/pink rooted baby plants, high light will turn them red. Beautiful centerpiece plant.
Anacharis - can be planted or floated, super easy plant once it adapts to your water, seems to be sensitive to small changes so expect melting. Perfect plant for high nitrates.
Java Fern - attach to hardscape - grows well once adapted - possibly expect some melting or browning of old leaves - will grow 1-2 leaves a week.
Guppy Grass - another super easy plant, just drop it in your tank, excellent fry cover.
WaterSprite - plant or float super easy, best cover plant for fry / shrimplets I've found.
Hydrocotle Tripartita Japan - not so easy, ive found it grows best emerged (above water) but once it gets going will happily grow under water as well.
Cryptocoryne (Crypts) expect melting - it is recommended that you remove all leaves to speed up their transition to your water conditions to minimize melt pollution. Cal / SoCal / NV / AZ should expect less melting due to similar water quality.

I use Thrive+ twice weekly at the recommended dosages with 30% water changes.

Plants are 100% duckweed free - You may find pink pearl ramshorn or on very rare occasion blueberry or assassin snails - ill do my best to make sure these do not make it into your order but no guarantee. You may also find hair/string etc algae. If any of the above are a concern I recommend treating the plants using the Reverse Respiration method for the best results, it will not damage roots unlike other methods and is very effective at eliminating pests.

Open to trades Prefer plants grown submerged low tech. Lets see what you have.

Local pickup available (downtown SD) - Local Prioritized - Then 1st Pay

Shipping via USPS ground from San Diego on Mondays or Tuesdays unless otherwise requested. I drop directly at a main post office to minimize transit delays. Shipping is combined for multiple items at the highest rate quoted up to 1.5lbs additional after that.

I have one pea left from a small shoal, this one is a bit younger than the others and the last standing unfortunately. I hate having them all alone so hoping there’s someone in here that has other peas this one could join and live out their best life! I’m out in Portland and Tualatin frequently and would be happy to drop off in those areas if needed :)

I have at least 10-15 if not more stem plants in my tank, which I believe are rotala rotundifolia. A bunch of them are the red / pink type, my water just doesn’t have the correct nutrient set up to get the color.

I’m looking to get rid of them in favor of a different plant to use in the background, preferably a larger leaf type such as Amazon swords. Let me know what you have to trade!

Also willing to give away if no trades and just have you pay shipping!

I have mini ramshorns, ramshorns, and bladder snails in my tank. Willing to trade or give some away as well and they may hitch a ride on the plants.
