Typically, axolotl keepers use this method during the hot summer months to avoid a temperature spike. Use this technique with caution, however, and closely monitor the water temperature to make sure it doesn't change too quickly. Avoid placing your axolotl habitat in direct sunlight or using tank lights that produce heat.Īnother option is to freeze an appropriately sized plastic bottle filled roughly half way with water, and place this on the surface of the aquarium water. The latter two strategies help cool the water by disturbing the surface, promoting evaporation, and ultimately cooling the water. A few effective techniques to accomplish this include installing an aquarium chiller, placing an airstone within the tank, or allowing a fan to blow on the water surface. Fluctuations in water climate can also be stressful, so aim to keep a constant temperature rather than allow the tank to warm or cool down rapidly.ĭepending on your climate, maintaining the correct temperature range might difficult. While most axolotls can tolerate water up to 70 degrees, these amphibians can become stressed and very ill or die at higher temperatures. The ideal water temperature range is between 60 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. These creatures do best in slightly lower temperatures. A digital model is best, but an analog thermometer will work, as well. Axolotls have specific water temperature requirements, so getting an aquarium thermometer as part of your setup is essential.
