What Jen said. Axolotls external gills are a tempting target to ACF or even small nippy fish. Constant damage to their gills stresses Axolotls out very fast, even if they can regenerate it puts tremendous strain on the animal. If the Axolotl gets a hold of the small delicate arm of an ACF, it could be torn off, why would you want to risk your frog being damaged for life?

Even if these two animals never physically injured one another, like Jen said one is a cold water species and the other is a subtropical species. So it's either going to be too cold for the frog or too warm for the axolotl.. inadequate water temperatures for prolonged periods leads to a compromised immune system, then disease sets in.

Both these animals are fantastic and enjoyable pets but they don't belong together. It's just a bad idea to mix amphibians of different species, period. You wouldn't house a Pacman frog with an African Bullfrog would you?
