college tank

[Yellowboy]

Ok i got a lot of tanks at home and all are 20 gal or above. The college I am currently attending will not allow fish tanks greater than 10 gal. Solution: starting a new tank. I just need to decide that after a good cycle which ones come to the dorm and which ones remain in the family's care. I have a false perc, a blue devil damsel, a humbug damsel, a hawaian feather duster, a blue linkia star, two cleaner shrimp, a coral banded, snails, and three coral cats. Which ones should i put together in the ten gal? Keep in mind that this is not permenant housing so the fact that the coral cats will grow large doesnt matter cause they will be back in their big tank in june. What would be a good bioload for this and would survive college without too much stress. The duster is prob out cause with so much going on he would never leave his tube...ummm i dunno any ideas?

Id put only one fish in a 10 gallon. Probaly I would put in the clown and the 2 cleaners.

I really don't think a RA will know the difference between a 10 or 20g aquarium. At least not mine at UCLA when I was there. hehehe

Similar rule in my dorms but if you drag it up there and set it up the only comment you will get is.. "Cool!" At least that's how it worked for me.

I'm just worried that I'll get it all setup and they will be like "NO!" and make me take it down or write me up or some crazy stuff
