Fee schedule
Every fee on this page is fictional and cannot be paid. The only two real prices on this site are the optional $3.49 (AUD) Official Fighting-Fish Owner's Handbook (a joke PDF, on the Support the Registry page) and the optional A$19 First 30 Days guide (a real betta care PDF, in Real Care). Both are one-off purchases, priced in AUD, and described in full before you pay. No GST is charged.
Fees are set annually by the Fees Committee after a long meeting and a short nap. They are indexed to the Scale Exchange Rate, which is zero.
| Service | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Registration of a fish name (Form N-01) | $0.00 | Payable in exact change. |
| Insertion of a middle name (Form N-02) | $0.00 | Two middle names cost the same as one, which is nothing. |
| Change of name, Sir Finsworth to Gary (Form N-09) | Waived | In recognition of the emotional journey. |
| Glamour Permit (Form F-21) | 3 bubbles | Payable by the fish. Concession rate of 2 bubbles for fish with short fins. |
| Bubble-nest development approval (Form B-02) | 1 bubble | Refunded if the nest collapses within 30 minutes, which it will. |
| Heritage nomination (Form B-40) | Free | Applicants are, however, advised to act promptly. |
| Relocation to a windowsill (Form B-14) | 1 sovereign gaze | Payable at the time of relocation. |
| Relocation back to the bench (Form B-15) | 1 sigh | Payable on arrival. |
| Arbitration against one's own reflection (Form R-05) | $0.00 | The result is a draw. The fee reflects the result. |
| Late lodgement fee | $0.00 per day | Accrues indefinitely, and still adds up to nothing. |
| Copy of a lost regulation (Form FF-999) | Priceless | Because nobody can find it. |
| Certificate of Name, framed | $0.00 | The frame is imaginary. The pride is real. |
Payment methods
Fictional fees may be paid in bubbles, sovereign gazes or sighs. The Registry does not accept cash, cards, cheques, pebbles or goodwill.
Refunds
All fictional fees are fully refundable. Refunds are paid at the same rate, such that applicants receive nothing in return for the nothing paid.
Owners are advised that a consolidated schedule is published at Fees and Payments, and that body bag pricing for each state is detailed in Appendix K.2.
