Anyone have them?
I've done a bit of googling but can't find anything conclusive about ideal tank sizes.

One of my housemates had one when I was an undergrad (we were all biologists, the university bred them for dissection, I think she sweet-talked it out of a lab technician). It lived in a very small aquarium and ate slivers of frozen squid. When it wasn't being fed, it didn't really do anything.

I had them as a kid and kept them in a tank about 80 cm by 30 although smaller would have been fine.
They are the easiest pets in the world to look after and are quite funny.. Much better than fish

I've got a pair of wild type Axolotls.
Really easy to keep.
