PSA [MOD POST] - COMMUNITY UPDATE - BEWARE OF SCAMMERS

90 Upvotes

Guys this is quite simple. DO NOT respond to people sending you a direct message without commenting and engaging you on your post FIRST. When we ban a scammer, they can STILL view your post and send you a direct message, they just can't comment. MAKE THEM TALK TO YOU ON YOUR POST. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is! If they YES you to everything, be aware! They will tell you they have everything you are looking for and will even offer you discounts and deals just to get you to let your guard down. They don't care what pretend price you agree too, because they aren't actually selling you anything, just stealing your money!

IF YOU COMMENT ON SOMEONE'S FOR SALE AD AND SOMEONE ELSE MESSAGES YOU DIRECTLY, REPORT THEM AND/OR MAKE THEM TALK TO YOU IN AQUASWAP FIRST. REMEMBER, BANNED ACCOUNTS AND NEW ACCOUNTS CAN'T COMMENT.

The new account age has been increased from 3 days to 100 days to temporarily prevent scammers from making new accounts and commenting on your posts.

HAVE COMMON SENSE. NO REPUTABLE BUSINESS IS GOING TO TELL YOU THEY CAN ONLY SELL TO YOU THROUGH REDDIT AND NOT ON THEIR ETSY, EBAY, OR WHATEVER OTHER BUSINESS PAGE. RED FLAG.

LOOK AT ACCOUNT AGE. NEW AND YOUNG ACCOUNTS ARE WAY MORE LIKELY TO BE PROBLEMS THEN ESTABLISHED ACCOUNTS.

MOST IMPORTANTLY. ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS TO BE SAID.

READ THE AUTOMOD COMMENT ON YOUR POST. IT LITERALLY WARNS YOU AND TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO TO BE PROTECTED.

DO NOT PAY USING FRIENDS & FAMILY. ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES SO YOU DON'T GET SCAMMED.

ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES SO YOU DON'T GET SCAMMED

ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES SO YOU DON'T GET SCAMMED

3yo Blood Parrot

He recently went psychotic and killed all his tank mates so he's gotta go. I did a full water change and rescape over the course of a week and he's decided he doesn't like it apparently.

Been in a 55gal for 2+ years with pretty much all the same fish and no issues until now.

Free to someone that can give him a good place to swim out the rest of his days. I have a breeding pair of Kribs that I'll protect at any cost so if he's not gone by this weekend I've gotta find another option.

Located outside Denver, CO

Moving abroad this summer so sadly have to let my planted tank go. I am hoping to find someone who is interested in the whole setup. Asking for $500 OBO. I can break it all down and get it as travel ready as possible, but buyer will need to pick up. Tank needs two strong adults to move.

EQUIPMENT Rimless Glass Aquarium measures 35.5”W x 18”D x 18”H

Two compartment stand with adjustable shelves is the same footprint, measuring 31.5”H (total combined height with tank is 49.5”)

AquaTop Forza FZ25 UV pump filter

AquaTop LED light

Heater

Dual Airstone pump

FLORA / FAUNA Anubias (including a 10+ year old mom plant that produced most of the anubias in the tank) Varied crypts Several amazon swords Java ferns Some sort of grass Large driftwood stump piece

2 Congo Tetras 4-5 Cardinal Tetras 3 Wagtail Platty 1 Mickey Mouse Platty 1 Angel 4-5 Nerite Snail 1 Assassin Snail 3-5 tiny little fishies that look like mini trout lol In theory there are a handful of shrimp but i haven’t seen them in a while.

Tanks been running strong for over 2+ years now. There is a bit of BB algae, but nothing crazy. We have enjoyed a more natural looking and lower maintenance setup.

I would love to find someone who would be down to take it all. Will throw in all the extra stuff i have too like water additives, drip test kit, landscaping tools, cleaning stuff etc.

I also have two smaller tanks available. If buyer wants them will throw them in for free. One’s a Fluval Spec V and another is a glass rimless 10g?

Message for more info/pics/vid. 🫡🙏
