As I said on your other thread, keep them in an air conditioned room, a cool basement , or as a very last resort the fridge. Last summer we did not have ac and we had to fridge the axies for a few weeks. It was not the best solution but we were broke lol, and your axies being in the fridge are much better off than dying of heat issues. Can you afford a chiller ? Axies should not be above 72 degrees or it can result in serious problems and death . What is the tank temp at ?
 
It is at 68 I did put them in my room . 2 of them are floating. What is a chiller??
 
If they are at 68 there is no issue there. Were they allowed to reach a higher temp earlier in the day yesterday ? How are they doing today ? Also, can you give some info on the size of your axolotls and what size tank they are in .
 
They are in a small bin. And they are about a half inch give or take. The temp went up to about 70. Right now there temp is 20c. 2 of them are gone they have not moved and they are upside down :(

I am really sorry to hear about your axies...heat related issues are not to be taken lightly. I don't want to lecture you but it sounds like you purchased axolotls without knowing much about thier care at all, and they ended up suffering because of it. You said two have died and now you are trying to buy juvies from me and other members. What is up with that..do some research...get educated on their care first! They should be in a cycled tank, with cool water. I hope you at least know to keep your juvies separate until they are large enough ! Sorry to sound harsh but you do not even understand basic care for them, so you will not be acquiring any of mine.

    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?
