<p>Do most colleges allow fish tanks in the on-campus dorms?</p>
<p>Apparently many schools allow up to a 10 gallon tank. That's not huge -- but if it spilled it could be a mess!</p>
<p>my school allows up to a 25 gallon tank. that's alot and we can have as many tanks as we want, as long as the total number of gallons is no more than 25.</p>
<p>Most schools do. My college does but I didn't bring my tank despite being an avid aquarium guy (and I have been since I was born). At home I have a ten gallon, and it's big enough for almost anything except those giant fish.</p>
<p>You can get a Marineland BioWheel filter for about $20 for a ten gallon tank. It's worth it if you have one--best filter and pretty quiet. As far as fish go, I specialize in swordtails. Also have tetras, zebra danios, and platies (which are very easy to breed--I got three great babies that grew into adults once). As long as you don't get like 50 fish you'll have more than enough room in a 10 gallon. Make sure you get plants too--fish love them.</p>
<p>Make sure the power is on during breaks. </p>
<p>See it the custodian can feed for you during breaks. </p>
<p>Moving a 20 is a pain but can be done without complete tear down. </p>
<p>A couple of predators and a 100 feeder guppies can make for an entertaining evening.</p>
<p>Make sure no one defecates in your fishtank.</p>
<p>That is a popular prank.</p>
<p>lol (10 char)</p>
<p>eww at the defecating thing</p>
<p>bsball, that lol (10 char) was hilarious! hahahah lol. First time I have seen that.</p>
<p>The colleges I visited said that I could only bring a pet that can live under water... which is why I am currently training my bunny in scuba diving like Jinx in the movie "Meet The Fockers".</p>
