Welcome to The Beta Lake! Home to many Betas and their friends from the Beta Aquarium. Please enjoy your visit/stay!

The Beta Lake is a B/C Pet Guild, and an important part of the Beta Aquarium B/C shop. Many of the shop's administrative and sales features are contained here, including Staff Work Threads, SE Commissions, Naming/Mating threads, and sometimes events!

If you joined our guild expecting fans of Gaia's Aquarium system and lots of Booty Grab bump threads, we are sorry to disappoint. However, please feel free to look around and maybe get involved in our wonderful shop!

The Beta Lake Staff is separate from the Beta Aquarium Staff, even though most of the Guild Staff are the Shop Staff.

These people have certain jobs and responsibilities that belong to the guild. Do as they say!

Don't be afraid to PM them if you see something going on that shouldn't be.

Lake Staff
BetaHQ -- The Shop Mule
Gnatty-Bug -- Staff Moderator
Arynlight -- Staff Moderator
PandaManda -- Staff Moderator
ShtrDrNGry -- Staff Moderator
Geniegirlly -- General Moderator
dracoXK -- Owner's List Manager
BuffyNick -- Honorary Staff


. The Shop Mule is the head of the guild and has all powers. The Shop Staff have access to it.
. The Staff Moderators are the Beta Aquarium Staff, and have all the same powers as the Shop Mule and are the ones who do the majority of the guild moderating.
. The General Moderator keeps an eye on everything going on in the guild when the Staff Moderators can't.
. The Roleplay Moderator moderates the roleplay forum and make sure the RP stays PG-13.
. The Owner's List Manager makes sure the owner's list is updated and pretty. Be nice to her; if your beta is not on the owner's list it will not be bred or evolved.
. The Honorary Staff the shop's original owner! who is still honored and retains their guild powers even though they are gone.

Currently, Shop/General Moderators and the Owner's List Manager are the only active Guild Staff. Not listed are several mules owned by staff members that also have moderating power.

Personal Tanks, or as they are known by the Gaia World, Journals, are available to every beta owner. (If you dont own a beta, you cannot make one)

1 PER person!! No multiple threads please.

In your personal tank, you can post your betas and their pets along with anything you might wish to keep. From personal roleplays to presents from friends!

If you wish to have a personal tank, make your own thread with the proper label ((( at the beginning of your subject title add -- [T] ))

Please make sure to read the thread making rules along with the roleplaying rules.
