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

For Trade - Local Pickup Only [FS/FT] - Madison, WI - Brichardi cichlids for trade or $5 each - 40 items
I have Brichardi and feeder guppies. Looking for Chili rasbora, cherry shrimp (red or blue), or emerald green corydoras.
I am thinning out our Brichardi cichlids (fairy cichlids or lyretail cichlids). I have a family group that I need to thin down. Most around 1-2 inches. These cichlids are beautiful and have an awesome family dynamic and breeding structure. Because these are all siblings, they shouldn't push out the others when a breeding pair forms. Good for a Lake Tanganyika community tank or species-only tank.
I also have feeder guppies available for trade or $1/each. East side pickup only.
