How do you keep your tanks cool?

Hello!

I have three chinese firebellies and no air conditioning in my appartment... Normally I have no problem regulating the temperature of their water, it usually sits around 72 degrees. Since it's been getting hotter and hotter here my appartment turns into an oven during the day while I'm out at work and I came home and found the tanks above 80 degrees the other day...

I took some water from their tank and cooled it in the fridge and slowly put it back in the tank to bring the temp back down, but I can't be doing that all day while I'm out and deffinatly cannot afford a cooling system right now... Anybody have any tricks for keeping their tanks cool?

I've been keeping a close eye on them while I'm home and so far none of them have shown any signs that they are uncomfortable in the warmer water, they are all active and behaving normally.

Thanks!

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
