Ask them if they allow 'fish tanks'

Often they will say yes, thinking no big dog, simple fish.... but you didn't say what you were going to keep in the fish tank!!

I think it would be a mistake to suggest that you'd be keeping fish, because then they'd be worrying about water damage. They seem to worry most about damage to the apartment and water damage is worse than barking dogs, smelly rodents or cat hairs. Allergens are easier and cheaper to deal with than 20 gallons of water.

I'd ask them if they allow terrariums.
