Hello,
I am planning to fridge my axolotl due to heat stress. The temp has gone up to 86f! and hes starting to have red spots on him, such as bleeding. Though hes still eating and looks happy, but i know this is really really really bad.
Okay, so I was looking at the aquarium shop, and we have this small aquarium. It's a 2.5 gallon tank, and it would be ideal to put in the fridge. But I wouldn't have to change the water every day since the tank size is larger than say, a lunch thing. Would I still need to change his tank water every day? Or can the fridge just act as the chiller since I can't afford a whole new setup.
Here is a image of the tank.
(Note: This is not his tank. It is a tank for a crab we recently got. I would never put gravel near my axolotl)
Basically what i'm saying it, this will act as his tank for the summer, I would feed him every day, but I wouldn't change his tank water every day. How often should I change the water in the fridge?
Also, what would you also suggest?
