<p>Poor things :(</p>
<p>At least you won’t have to worry about freezer space since you don’t have them on any frozen food. But something to consider as well. Plus having a small amount of freezer space is a benefit to you sometimes as well :)</p>
<p>I would imagine fish shouldn’t be too hard to hide if your college for some reason doesn’t allow them. I can’t imagine fish not being allowed, just a limitation on tank size. Bettas are definitely very easy to take care of in college.</p>
<p>I don’t know how you go about it, but I keep a pitcher in my room to let some water sit over night (with some water conditioner, of course) when I do weekly partial water changes. Just something to think about bringing (if you hadn’t already). I also use a turkey baster to help clean out the gravel and to siphon out a portion of the water for a partial water change. Cheap, but effective and easy to store in a small space.</p>
<p>Thankfully bettas are fairly resilient (more so than many goldfish). They do make great dorm pets. I hope there won’t be any issue bringing them with you!</p>
