I'm a relatively new axolotl owner living in Arizona. I'm having a lot of difficulty trying to keep my 38 gallon tank colder than 70°F. I use ice packs and frozen water bottles and that can cool my tank down by like 2 or 3 degrees but at night it goes right back up. I don't know what to do.

You can either use a fan or a chiller. Fans are the cheaper option and good if you only need to drop it a few degrees. However, since your tank is fairly large and I believe Arizona gets pretty hot especially in summer I'd recommend a chiller. I use one now and wouldn't go back to a fan!

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
