Hello, and welcome to the Fish Pond Galaxy!
This galaxy is a cluster of 6 planets that are mostly made of water that hold many types of fish species.
Please note, the planets were NOT made by me, I purchased them from a shop, click any one of them to visit that shop.
At the very center of this galaxy and the largest planet is Piscina.

Piscina is the first planet you would travel to in this cluster, as it is the home base of the galaxy. It has one rather large land mass that is somewhat shaped like a fish, and the rest of the planet is all water. In these waters are thousands upon thousands of fish, and sometimes you can take one home with you!
Feel free to explore the galaxy and travel from planet to planet as you wish, but first, you must visit the headquarters to learn about the rules of the galaxy and how to make sure you don't get banned from it!
As you enter headquarters, you are greeted by a kindly looking woman who hands you some pamphlets and says they are the rules and guidelines of the galaxy, as well as a guided map of the galaxy.
RULES PAMPHLET
1. as always, all CS rules apply
pretty self explanatory, make sure you are familiar with CS rules before posting in the forums!
2. no whining, begging, complaining or arguing
again, this is pretty self explanatory, for no reason should you ever whine, beg, complain or argue about anything in the shop to me or anyone else. If you are unsure if it falls under this category, then it probably does and you shouldn't post it! If I ask you to do something or inform you of your rule breaking, do not argue or complain about it, it is MY shop, they are MY rules, if you do not like them, you do not have to be here, but if you choose to take part in this shop, you will follow the rules and not question me when I remind you of rule breaking!
3. no stealing or editing in any way
please remember art theft is against CS rules and I do not give permission for anyone to use my art. This includes, but is not limited to, taking them and using them outside of CS, editing them in any way, using the shop images to make your own tank or taking any images that do not belong to you and using them for any reason whatsoever. If you are ever unsure if what you are doing is stealing, then it probably is and you shouldn't do it.
4. if you change your username, please tell me.
this should be self explanatory, but just in case it is not, this means that you should inform me personally of a username change. You can do so by posting here that you changed your username and what your old name was, or you can message me or post in the Fan Club. This is to ensure the archives stay up to date so I can find you when I need to add to your post, as well as ensures you do not get in trouble for theft for using images that are not archived under your name because you have not told me you changed it. This also means you may not participate in any events or post any forms until you have notified me of your username change. I reserve the right to disqualify you from any raffles, contests or events and take away any prizes if it is discovered you have not informed me of a username change.
5. No spamming or mini modding
spam includes, but is not limited to, double posting, bumping or any posts that do not pertain directly to the running of the shop. If you want to compliment the shop, say thanks for any reason, or post about the fish you have, you may do so in the fan club, not here! If you are unsure as to whether it is shop related or spam, then you should probably post it in the Fan Club just to be on the safe side. The main shop is for ordering and shop related issues. Mini modding is also a form of spam as it is only for the shop owner and any hired mods to remind people of the rules, so please leave it to us to take care of rule breakers.
6. Read everything, I do not like repeating myself!
self explanatory, but for a bit of information, this is here because I get tired of people asking questions that are answered here on the front page, or post things they shouldn't because they didn't read the instructions. I don't waste my time typing up information here just to have to repeat it because people don't want to read through to find their answers. Therefore, if you ask a question that has an answer already, you will be directed to read the front page, I will not repeat myself. This also includes making sure to keep up with my posts, as the shop owner, I may make special announcements in my posts, it is your responsibility to read the shop owners posts and make note of pertinent information. Sometimes during events, I make special posts and give out prizes to those who actually read my posts!
7. Code Drops
I do code drops giving you the exact code to use for displaying your fish that includes a link back to the shop. You must always keep the link back to the shop with your fish! Code drops for litters, the pound and fish won while fishing will be done in the shop, you must watch for them yourself. Codes for any of the forms posted from the shop, as well as customs and offspring from breedings, will be PMed to you. You must wait to display your fish or order anything for it until I have done the code drop. I have my reasons for this and I do not need to go into detail about it, just know that by me doing the code drop, that is my consent that the fish is now officially yours. Please note that if you put the fish in your signature or anywhere else before I have done a code drop, that is considered stealing as you have not been given permission yet to post it. If you miss a code drop, try using the search function, I always put your username with the image in code drops, or you can grab it from the archives, just please be sure to read the first post for information on how to do that.
8. Giving fish away
If you no longer want your fish, you can give them to a friend, but you must discuss it with me first! You may also give them up to the pound for me to re-adopt out or look for trades in the Fan Club. But under no circumstances are you to try and re-adopt them out to others on your own. That is considered stealing and will be reported as such.
9. Post forms AS IS, no altering them
This means simply copy and paste the code I provide and enter the required information, and do not change the layout/coloring/size or anything else in any way, including spacing the lines out, that just creates unnecessarily long posts and is not needed! Please also remove anything in the form that is in parentheses (), information in the parentheses is there to help you with how to fill out the form, but is not needed when you post the form, it just gets in my way of reading the pertinent information! Any forms that do not follow this rule will be denied as invalid.
I reserve the right to add rules at any time if I see fit to do so.
So please read them from time to time to make sure you are up to date!
So please read them from time to time to make sure you are up to date!
There is a list of users with Strikes/Bans in the Fan Club, it would be helpful for members to read the information in that post to know what may happen if you break the rules!
