Axolotl's are amphibians, and require freshwater, there isnt any salt water Amphibian species.

What are? Senegal Bichir's? I thought they needed warm temperatures around 25-28c or so? If you meant Axolot's, then yes they do need colder water, around 20-22c, but as I'd posted, they arent Fish, theyre Amphibians.

Not quite true. There is a very famous crab-eating frog in Southeast Asia that lives in mangroves. It is known as Rana cancrivora, and is much studied by physiologists because of its ability to live in fresh, brackish, and salt water. The frogs themselves prefer 50% seawater over either fresh or salt water, but the tadpoles can live in seawater just fine. Apparently they use a similar osmoregulatory system to sharks rather than bony fish.

It's a very useful pub quiz / trivial pursuits type bit of information to have handy. Also good for testing unsuspecting biology teachers and amateur herpetologists!
