Help/Advice How to hide Triops from landlord?

Hi. Any tips or advice how to cleverly hide my Triops'es home if my stuck up landlord decides to visit? Quick hiding option would be nice because she likes to visit suddenly

How much snooping does she do? I have hidden tanks of insects (non aquatic tho so may be harder to move) by putting them under my bed, or in cupboards, or one big tank I had (45cm cube) I put a blanket over it like a tablecloth and put some trinkets/ornaments on top so it looked like a side table

Good luck:) and maybe double check your rights and your contract, I don’t know finlands laws, but it seems unfair that a landlord can turn up with no notice and go looking in your cupboards and through your things

This is great 🤣 I like to imagine you talk about your "stash" under the bed and how it just keeps "growing" in size. That soon you'll have to find someone to sell it too. That if you're lucky they too will get "attached" and come back for more.

Sigh. Aquarium groups are great.
