Story:
One day, a humble Gaian was fishing, admiring the tranquil dawn and soft ripples on the water’s surface. He fell into a trance, only broken by a fish taking the bait. The Gaian gave a startled yell, reeling in the first fish of the day with anticipation and vigor. Pulling the fish up out of the water, he gasped; this catch had butterfly wings! The Gaian withdrew the hook from its mouth, holding the fish in admiration. The catch had shimmering sky blue scales, placed in uniform rows that gave way to pink butterfly wings, patterned in purple and white. The Gaian was suddenly surprised as the fish began to rise from his grasp, flying to the sky and joining with a flock of its own. He’d discovered what seems to be a new species found in Gaia. It seemed to be peaceful, and beautiful, but nothing further could be known without study.

It was a woman by the name of Prof. Yamamotto who took it upon herself to learn about these strange new fish. She has found out many things about them and she is willing to share them with the people of Gaia. She has created this small shop in order to help share these wonderful creatures with the world!

Rules:
1~ Please fallow all of Gaia's rules here.
2~ This is a PG-13 Shop. All conversations are to be kept at max PG-13, lower ratings are loved even more. Kids do come onto this site so be kind!
3~ Be friendly to the people! It is nice to be talked to be it you are new or old.
4~ Respect the staff. All have the power to ban you from the shop if they see you not fallowing the rules!
5~ Please note that Prof_Yamamotto is a mule account! The people on her friends list are members of the staff! You are to send your shop related questions via PM to her.
6~ If you wish to swap shop links, PM the mule! Do not post the request here. I would PM you with that kind of request, please give me the same service!
7~ Understand that I will be in college from Aug. 2008 to June of 2012. I will be under school work pressure and finding other college related things. I do not need PMs telling me you should have the next stage of you pet all the time. I will do my best that is all I can promise you.
8~ Please have fun while you are here.

Stages:
The images given here have been blacked out, you will just be seeing a shadow of the stages.

User Image

The Egg: This is the first stage that you will have. It is the egg stage. Nothing much happens here besides a little egg floating around in the fish bowl... This stage is set for four days. There is no way to shorten this stage.

User Image

The Caterpillar Fry: Your fish has hatched! It is now a Caterpillar Fry! Depending on how it will be as an adult or what breed it is you may see faint makings for the adult stage or you may see something very different! This stage normally last two weeks, however, if you are an active person you may shorten this time to be one week.

User Image

The Seaweed Chrysalis: Your young fish has wrapped itself in seaweed for a fantastic transformation! Who knows how it look when it comes out of this bundle of seaweed? This stage will last two weeks, yet if you are active it can be shortened to just one week.

User Image

The Butterfly Fish: Here it is! The main event! Your wonderful pet is now a Butterfly Fish! It has come a long way and now this is the last stage! It is an adult forever. You do not have to stay, but it is nice if you do!

Gender: Male
Role: The Fisherman and running Takamo's Catch
Likes: Fishing, fish in general, fishing, and the owners of the fish
Dislikes: not fishing

Gender: Female
Role: Sea Emporium Shop Owner
Likes: The cute little fishies, everyone around her
Dislikes: ... does she have any?

Common Events:

Catch the Nymph: Every 50 pages a nymph, or pet for your pet will be offered. The fist to quote the post will get the nymph. If in the event the owner is not around for it, the names of the people who posted on that page will be noted and the nymph will be raffled. When the shop becomes more active the page count will increase, the shop owner does have a life!
Takamo's Catch: A completely random event. It has no timer on when it starts. A raffle will be set up and it will be a free raffle, meaning one ticket per person. There will always be a fish offered for this event, often times an adult. If it is a special fish, there is a chance it will go to auction instead of being a raffle.

Places at the Aquarium:

Kika's Bomb Shelter: A place for staff members only. Plotting is done here and also important information for them is in it. They should be checking it every so often to see if there is anything new *owner looks at staffers*.
The Tanks: The main tanks you find are for all fish to swim together. There is a large network of them and so it should be kept clean for the good of the fish.
