He looks fine to me but make sure fish dont nip on his gills. They like cold water so a tropical aquarium is not good for them(I dont know what fish you have or your water temp) Go to axolotl.org and read the intro, housing, and feeding sections. Good luck!

You could buy a chiller, but that is way too expensive for some people. The method cheapos like me use is to keep a water bottle with ice cubes in it floating in the tank at all times. Or, if you have one, you could put the tank in your basement.
