I'm needing to buy a new tank for my axies, as I recently had an accident with my current tank while cleaning it and put a crack in it :facepalm: I'm looking at tanks on Trademe and there are not all that many available in Christchurch in the price range we can afford (and the cheaper ones already have a lot of bidders). There's this one seller with a tropical tank selling for $60.00, and I was wondering if I could use it for my axies if I didn't put the heater in it? (I know that axies definitely have to be kept in cold water.) Basically I'm wanting to know if a tropical tank could also be used as a cold water tank, or are they only designed to function as tropical tanks? Can anyone enlighten me?? -Thanks.

the difference between a tropical tank and a cold water is really only the temperature of the water

so go for it
