        ██████ █ █ general rules

          • Be sure to read the entirety of the front page before posting questions!
            A lot of what you need to know is right here on this page, so make sure you read through it!

          • Have a question? PM it to the mule, not staff.
            Our staff get a lot of PMs, and we want to keep shop things and personal things separate. <3

          • Use your common sense and geniality in here!
            You know, all those nice golden rules to keep society happy. No drama llamas, whiners, and bitching in here. D: We want this place to be HAPPY! Like fish! <3

          • Do NOT modify/edit the art without permission.
            Modifications for signatures (group editing, doodling on them, etc.) and references sheets are alright, but do not lineart edit or claim the art as your own. 8|


        ██████ █ █ roleplaying & thread rules

          • Roleplay literally! <3
            No chatspeak or anything 7yp3d lyk d1s c0s 1tz h4rd 2 r34d. :C This should be kind of obvious.

          • Keep bright, flashy, small, and hard-to-read fonts out of roleplaying (and the thread).
            We actually want to read what you say.. so... make it legible? :'3

          • Cosplays/clothed akoikantha cannot roleplay.
            We're trying to keep the roleplay environment natural, so stick to the natural fish -- scraps of clothing/jewellery are OK, but your Sephiroth won't pass the natural test. D;

          • Are akoikantha roleplay-required?
            Nope! But there are many, many perks to roleplaying, so we highly encourage it. <3

          • Can I have a fish for free?
            We do many free events, such as free raffles, advertising contests, and roleplaying contests, so just check around for announcements. O:

        ██████ █ █ akoikanthus growing cycle


        User Image

            Akoikantha, having such large sizes and long life cycles, tend to reproduce at a lower rate than most of their smaller cousins. Like many smaller fish, they produce hundreds of eggs, but only a few usually survive to hatch. Most eggs, being as small and as helpless as they are, tend to die in the frigid waters of the deep ocean.

            For the three to six eggs that do survive, their hatching and subsequent growth is much more akin to that of slower growing animals such as sharks and dolphins. Eggs take approximately one week to hatch, and it can take anywhere from two weeks to one month for fry to mature into adult fish. Their long growing cycle as compared to other fish also attributes to their rather long life, allowing them to live for up to fifty years.

        ██████ █ █ availability information and directions

          • FLATSALES: growing egg: 10k. ▪ growing juvenile: 7.5k. ▪ adult: 5k.

            There are usually three types of flatsales: speed, flaffle, and roleplaying prompts, though we may switch up the usual rules for flatsales for special events. Speed raffles are won by posting first, where as flaffles are won through a raffle system. Roleplaying prompts are usually reserved for edited fish, and the flatsale is usually waved in roleplay flats. Specific rules should be read at every event.

          • RAFFLES: from free to 100g per ticket.

            We usually hold a mixture of free raffles (usually for one or two fish), or paid raffles, which are incremented to increase the pots as more tickets are bought. Specific rules should be read at every event.

          • AUCTIONS: starting bid: 5k. ▪ minimum increment: 5k. ▪ AB: dependent on auction. ▪ items are accepted at 90% lowest TekTek; item limit varies with auction. ▪ anti-snipe guard of 30 minutes present.

            Auctions are quite special, usually auctioning rare or edited fish that will not show up in normal raffles or flatsales. Please remember to follow all rules of the auction, including the item bidding limit (which can vary per auction) and the 30 minute anti-snipe guard present at each auction. Specific rules should be read at every event.

        ██████ █ █ mummy, how do fish make babies?

        Check the Breeding Forum to see if breeding slots are open.

        Akoikantha can begin breeding approximately one month after they've become adults,
        and their birthing cycle usually lasts two to three weeks. Like most fish, akoikantha
        release hundreds if not thousands of eggs into the oceans. Usually, however, only a few,
        perhaps one to six of the eggs survive to hatch -- most are eaten by larger predators
        or by other hatched akoikantha, or are washed away to their deaths.


            Breeding Details:
          • Akoikantha become fertile after becoming adults for one month.
          • Only male and female akoikantha may breed, though homosexual coupling exists.
          • Akoikantha are not monogamous, but a few may decide to only couple with one other fish.
          • Litters range from one to six surviving eggs.
          • Roleplaying a breeding will add +1 eggs to the surviving eggs.

          • The breeding fee is 10k from each parent, to be sent to the colourist of the eggs.
          • Each parent may keep two eggs per breeding. With more than four total eggs, the remaining eggs must be given or sold in a sanctioned raffle/auction/flatsale/etc., with the profit split between the colourist and the parents 50/50.
          • If you win a breeding slot, you cannot enter another breeding slot for another two months.
