Yes, you can have a fish in your dorm. If you would like to read into the rules too much, technically you are “not allowed” to have pets, but a fish is most definitely acceptable. I was a freshman last year and lived in Mettler Hall, and I knew plenty of people in dorming that had fish, in-fact I am pretty sure they gave out fish in one of their student run events for people to keep at some point during the year.

While you are moving in however, I would refrain from broadcasting to other people as well as your RA that you are doing this. I highly doubt they will fine you for having a fish or even have a problem with it, but keeping it on the quieter end is always better because then it leaves room for question, “Well if he has a fish can I bring my turtle?” and so on. With that, most RA’s are easy going.
