Hey all, I'm seriously considering keeping an aquarium (5-10gal) in my dorm room this year and would appreciate insight from anyone who's done it before or who knows of someone who did so successfully/unsuccessfully. Would also enjoy tales of smuggled pets in general.

I'll be living in a single, and could store the tank at a friend's place over winter break, when they do inspections. I'm really into planted aquariums and so would be ok with just keeping plants (if it's only the "no fish/pets" rule they are strict about).

Message me! Thanks!
