You can keep 4-5 axolotls comfortably in that tank. The rule of thumb is 1 axolotl per foot, or 1 axolotl per 10G water. This is to keep them happy and make it easier for you to maintain water parameters.
Just remember that you need many hides with that many axolotls!

I think for a 5ft tank you could keep 4 axies in comfort. Remembering you have to put hides for each axie plus a spare. The more axies you have the more attention you will have to pay to the tank eg water parameters, spot cleaning etc.
