One of the worst parts about college is without a doubt leaving your beloved pets at home. College can be lonely and sometimes, it can just be nice to have an animal with you too! It can be hard to house most pets, especially in campus dorms, but fish are a great addition to any college student's room.
1. Fish don't need a lot of space!
They really just need a bowl or tank depending on the species and size. The general rule is about 10 gallons to an inch but Beta fish can live in much smaller habitats. It's easy to just place them on your desk or drawers without having to worry about having a large enough room for them to be happy in.
2. They are relatively inexpensive to care for!
GiphyFish can still be expensive, especially when you are just starting out and need tanks, food and all the rest of it. However, after this initial cost, fish really don't cost a lot to keep.
3. And they aren't as time consuming as other pets!
Unlike your dog or cat who needs constant love and attention - something hard to provide when in class constantly - fish really aren't needy at all. Just remember to change their water regularly and feed them every day!
4. Fish don't make noise!
GiphyFish don't make noise making them the perfect study and sleep companion.
5. Nor do they typically smell!
GiphyFish are not the only small animals that would suit a college dorm lifestyle, but unlike small furry animals, fish very rarely smell which is a great bonus of this small pet!
6. They don't get lonely if you are out all day!
GiphyWhen you're balancing college classes, assignments, internships, work, sports and a social life, time is often not in your favor. Luckily, fish aren't demanding at all and so you can be out all day and still get the pleasure of coming home to a pet!
7. They are stress free animals to have someone else babysit when needed!
Sometimes it can be a hassle to find someone to look after your animal when you're away, the bonus of fish is that they are so low maintenance that most people will be happy to babysit them for a few days!
8. Fish are beautiful!
Fish come in all sorts of arrays of vibrant colors and patterns making them some of the prettiest animals on the planet.
9. And watching them swim about can be extremely relaxing!
GiphyFish spend their days swimming around and they are just mesmerizing to look at. Not only this but watching them swim around can prove to be very relaxing and stress-reducing - a perfect addition to finals week!
10. And the best part is, they're usually allowed in campus dorms!
Christion Tyler EdwardsMost college campuses generally will allow a small fish tank in their dorm rooms. This is a great aspect of having a fish as you never have to worry about them being caught and removed from your dorm or being fined a significant amount for sneaking an animal in.
So what are you waiting for? Go and get yourself the best college pet there is!
