The idea behind the fish only in dorms is that if they get out, they're not going much further than the floor in front of the tank. Our school allows "anything aquatic" but nothing exotic.

I had my BP in my apartment for most of this semester, but I moved him home for a few reasons. My biggest finding is that it is incredibly hard to monitor the temperature here, my room fluctuates far too much to be healthy. I will probably attempt to bring him back up next semester, but it will be under certain conditions.
