Its a good idea to google any pet you are thinking of buying and then if theres any questions to come back and post those.
As far as i know they dont jump.

Hi,
Can you keep axotol with fish? Or do they not mix. I have always wanted to keep them just i didn't think you can keep them with fish.
Thanks

They are species only, they eat fish

hi,
no they dont jump, can live for bout 10-15 years, have to only be kept with other axolotls, other fish tend to cause them damage, mainly by biteing their gills. also fish such as loaches or plecs have been known to suck on the side of them also causin them damage. the only thing u can really keep with them are shrimp, however they do tend to get eaten quite quickly.
are fairly easy to look after, have great characters. love worms, blood worm, and a variety of other foods.
can grow quite large so keep that in mind when u see the smll guys in the shops, will try and post some pics of mine soon gotta love th little guys.
