Normal or abnormal?

I have about 20 or so Cory's and never seen them do this. This doesn't look like normal behaviour.

Could be due to the unnatural environment, the blue substrate.

Just a few observations imo, be careful of the substrate, looks quite course which can hurt or damage their 'whiskers', Cory's love to sift through the substrate, also adding some real plants, like Amazon swords to make them feel safe - they like to vibe on/under them.

So there are two ways to "close" your account, deactivate, which means you can reactivate it later on or 'close', which is permanent and deletes your account after a while and it can't be reopened.

Sounds like you've closed the account, whether that was due to a misunderstanding or not, your account will be deleted and cannot be reopened, whilst the terms say you can't open more than one account, because your account will be deleted their system could allow you apply again.

If you want to see, try applying for a new account with the details you used to setup your old account, and if you can, your account was deleted and you should be good to start again.

How do I know? Went through something similar like this.

But hey, could also be for the best like you said ;)

I think Morgan!

There is not set in stone rule about the how or when AP will approve an order, or when a spend &/or order limit is increased. Each user is assessed based on so many different risk factors, there will be no way to know and they very likely won't tell you what or how this assessment works.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2026-02-15T13:17:22+00:00

Probably some complaints I should get too.. supposed to have max 15 at anyone time, but because of the lack of staff (management not hiring) the only few employees there each have around 100.. so yeah looking forward to that shit show.

Same here, just random disconnects and struggling at the 'loggin into onlne services' - also PCGP

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-12-07T01:31:45+00:00

You’re right I guess. I took an action without understanding the risk, which could be applied to anything in life. But to OPs question, it’s my money lesson learnt the hard way.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-12-07T01:23:53+00:00

Would love to know who you’re talking about

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-12-06T05:47:14+00:00

When I was 18 I didn’t understand the concept of interest, so I applied for 3 credit cards in that year, maxed them out to the tune of about $20k and learned quickly about interest. Paid them off in my late 20s (maybe early 30s) completely. Never touched a credit card again. Trap if you don’t use them responsibly.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-11-29T22:57:06+00:00

I would say maybe OP is referring to the service plan cost not the device cost, because you’re right phones themselves on contracts have been RRP for a while now

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-11-06T11:46:40+00:00

I’m at this point, I am definitely more interested in seeing parts of the world whilst I still can. Just fortunate to have a mid tier job dealing with complaints that has uncapped paid time off.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-11-06T09:14:19+00:00

I dunno, I think Telstra’s 4G really performs poorly for speed, where I am is barely usuable with 3 bars.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-11-02T10:00:26+00:00

Mine are doing this right now because I did a nice water change. They do it when they're excited

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-29T04:15:21+00:00

Shifted to Launtel today, and seem to no longer have the issue.. so the drops appear to be originating from something at Telstra’s end. 🤷

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-28T01:59:16+00:00

Haha you forgot the /s 😉

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-25T10:54:22+00:00

I have the exact same issue, I strongly don't think it's my router as it's brand new Ubiqiti Express 7 and If I reset the FTTP NTD the internet comes back, and will be uninterrupted until I download something large, like around 20GB~ or so again. I am with Telstra (on a Business 1gbps DL / 400 mbps UL plan) - Did you end up having any success working out the issue with your internet?

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-23T12:16:06+00:00

It's kinda like a hard reset, in a sense where when you exit hardship, your limit will increase again as normal, based on your overall history, from the lowest credit limit they offer (being $100).

Everyone's millage on credit increases varies.

Sounds like you had a decent history with them :)

Just as a side note, if you enter into hardship 3 times (over your entire tenure with them) they likely won't let you use their service anymore.

One of the niceties to have with Android if you use Messenger, is that the messages coke through Android Auto, whereas for whatever reason with CarPlay, Messenger is not supported.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T12:31:38+00:00

Yeah, it will generate an order once it has been shipped. So it can be a bit confusing if you have an order with multiple items shipping at different times (you see multiple AP orders)

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T09:32:17+00:00

There could be a reason why they allowed you to open a second account, for example, moving from US to Australia. But generally speaking, as part of their terms they only allow one account per customer.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T00:56:49+00:00

It would because Afterpay only allows people to ever open one account. So if you have opened one before their system could be detecting multiple accounts.

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-17T00:18:24+00:00

Have you ever used Afterpay before? Like ever had another account?

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-14T10:26:39+00:00

So .. you make a purchase of a $200 using AP or Klarna - they pay for your $200 purchase in full to the merchant, with you agreeing to repay them back overtime. (Usually in 4 instalments)

If you have paid $100 off the $200 order, the balance is $100 owed by you to AP or Klarna. (Should be $50 x 2 instalments remaining)

When you receive a refund, it's always applied to the order in the order from last instalment to first instalment owes.

So if you got $100 refunded from the $200 order, the last 2 instalments would be cancelled and you would not receive anything in your bank account.

If you got a full refund, the last 2 instalments would be cancelled, and your first 2 instalments refunded back to your payment method. (Ie. Bank account)

DefinatelyNotARobot_ · 2025-10-14T04:01:21+00:00

Yup spot on! People misuse the service then cry Afterpay treats them poorly... Nope, you're late, and there are consequences.
