I was thinking that I could just fridge the spray bottle at 4-7 degrees C and spray 2-3 times a day to keep the tank cool (around low 70 degrees or under). Do you guys think it will work?

I was looking to cool my tank below room temperature at least 10 degrees. So I tried putting ice packs on the top of the tank. But that’s only good for a few hours. So I came up with this for my giant salamander.

    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?
