I am not sure, you will need to keep a very close eye on this. Make sure the water is nice and cool, hopefully it will be ok. .
I would strongly advise you to remove the gravel though. Axolotl will gulp in food and are prone to swallowing anything else....including the small stones. This can potentially cause impaction.

Suppose I should of updated this ... I returned the Axi to the store and the owner kept it there to keep an eye on recovery, unfortunately it died after a few days.
