Hi, just wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what the hell an axolotl is? I have seen them before, they are quite common in australia but what kind of animal are they? The wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolotl is quite confusing as far as i can gather it is some sort of salamander larvae?? 
Also i was wondering as to what kind of set up you would keep one in as my next door neighbour has a few babies and i was wondering if i should hit him up for some but have never kept one before.. Also, the usual info-aggressivness, tank mates etc...
thanks..
