Hi,
My tank is 60cm long x 35cm wide x 60cm height. So 126 Litres. Is this big enough for 2 adult axolotls?

In inches and gallons that is 24" long x 14" wide x 24" height. 33 US Gallons.

Yes, I would consider a 33 gallon to be large enough for two adult axolotls. Lots of people keep 2 axolotls in a 20 gallon. Although I think that is a bit cramped to keep 2 axolotls in a 20 gallon, they can live fine in one.

I believe the requirements are 2 foot long for one axolotl and an extra foot for each one added after that. I may be wrong though, but have read that in several places.
