Can axolotls get chytrid? If so, how do you tell, and will they show any symptoms?

Yes axolotls can get chytrid, they dont appear to show many symptoms though. Numerous sal and newt species can carry chytrid, as long as they are in good health it doesnt appear to have much impact on them.

There is a chytrid for frogs (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) and another for sals (Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans).
Both thrive in keratinized tissues, so tadpoles and larvae are poorly affected.
They normally are not transmitted by eggs.
