Do fish count as pets in an apartment?

nope :]

no they don’t because they are low maintenance and won’t cause any damage or permanent smells to the house. if you’re still unsure ask your landlord but it should be more than fine.

no i don’t think so

A small tank won’t matter, but you need to check if you want to install, say, a 50-gallon tank.

Some places have size/volume limits on tanks.

I don’t see having a beta as any harm, it still is a pet, but its not large and doesnt make any noise. i doubt it would cause you to have to be forced to get rid of it. they’re pretty and good for decoration.

Nawww… I don’t think so your should be okay with the fish and dogs. I have 4 snakes that I didn’t count as pets when I was in an apartment. Good thing they didn’t get loose. You don’t have to worry about fish getting loose unless they are
dog fish.

yes

yup
but get a cat, its more fun, and can eliminate its competition while saving you money on cat food at the same time!!!!!!!!!!

no

I think as long as it is a small bowl and not a tank you are ok…in my experience the whole fish tank is counted as one pet even if you have 20 fish, because they are in one space, also most complexes do not care about fish so much as they do not have a bad odor, or tare up carpet or anything…..although some apartment complexes put a limit on the size tank especially if you are upstairs just to make sure that if the tank broke there would not be water damage….look at your lease to be sure, but I think the small beta bowl will be fine with your two dogs!

yes and no because they arnt messy and they r cause they r animals living with u and there no considered humans

This really depends on what you landlord says about the situation. I would ask her about it before bringing more “pets” into the apartment.

Most of the time, a 2-pet limit is only put in place to prevent noise or odor problems. Since there is no real noise or odor issues with fish, it most likely will not be a problem, as long as you get WRITTEN permission to have these extra pets.

I would strongly suggest getting written permission since having these extra pets could be grounds for eviction since you violated your lease (unless your lease specifically says that fish do not count toward your 2-pet limit).

Some landlords limit the number of pets in order to limit the risk of damage to the apartment that can be associated with pets. In this case, the landlord may still see a fish tank as a risk liability (a leaking tank ruins carpets, ceilings of apartments below, etc.).

I would just suggest covering yourself, and just ask the landlord.

fish aren’t pets, in my opinion. They’re of no nuisance anyway. And even if it was a problem, you just get rid of the fish.
