James,
The Axolotl is actually the larval form of the Tiger Salamander, one of the largest North American species. I've kept them as pets in the past, quite a lot when I was a kid actually.
They do make for really interesting pets and I would love to see one brought to life in one of Jim's screensavers. However, this type of creature is more appropriatley suited to the Terrarium and not an aquarium. Keep it in mind though, when the time comes and Jim starts work on the Terrarium, we'll need to start adding different species to the wish list.
In case anyone is curious as to what a Tiger Salamander looks like, here's a couple of pictures. Notice the different colors and patterns, it's because they're each from a different place.
