So I've had one of my babies for two years and before finding this site had no idea that heat causes fungal infections. I just read they have increased metabolism when it's warmer so I just fed her everyday instead of every second.
So my axolotl has endured two Sydney Australian summers (average temp outside would range from 28-32 some days we had heat waves of 43 degrees) . I actually have no idea how she didn't die, have fungal infections or ANY problems. I did place a bottle of ice in the water but could not replace throughout the day due to work and school.
1. How did she not suffer problems and 2. I can not afford a chiller, what are better methods of cooling? What are your experience(s) with a aquarium fan? How effective are they at maintaining correct temperatures? I have a 3ft tank that is I think 60cm wide and about 75-80cm tall.
