Hello, I have 3 little axolotls that are about an inch and a quarter big (they are all separated in plastic containers), when I can put them into a tank. I did some research and couldn't find anything.

Axolotls are illegal in California. Please read this thread for detailed information and links to the actual laws: https://www.caudata.org/threads/axolotls-are-illegal-in-california-here-are-the-relevant-laws.30779/

you can probably go ahead and put them in their tanks now, as long as they’re separated. not an expert on this btw
Axolotls usually have cannibalistic trends until they are about 4 inches long. They will try (and manage) to eat each other's legs or tail tip. More often, one will dominate the others.
Unless your tank is big and heavily planted, I'd wait before putting them together.

JM29 is correct. Under about 4 inches long and you can end up with accidental injuries. You're best bet is to wait until theyre at least that size and have upgraded to eating earthworms as it will be easier to feed them safely without having to separate them into tubs for every meal.
