Is it ok for my Axie to be in consecutive days of water temperature at 12 to 13 degrees Celsius?
I have my chiller set for 17 degrees but it’s winter here now so I was worried he’s getting too cold plus he’s a white as snow when resting. My Axie is a pink Lucy
Thanks for any help
 
although ideal temperature is 15°c -18°c axolotls are quite happy in in colder water (try not to let it drop below 10°c) unlike higher temperatures which can cause stress, over heating etc.. low temperatures are relatively harmless and just results in a reduction in appetite and movement (unlike most animals axolotls also heal better at low temperatures), be aware though that low temperatures can effect the biological filtration.
