As you mention Axolotls require lower temperatures most fish cannot with stand prolonged cold temperatures that salamanders require. Temperatures of 70 degrees will begin to stress them out if they are exposed to those temperatures for prolonged periods of time. Fish that are small enough to be eaten whole will be, which can have a very detrimental impact on the Axolotl as some fish have spines and other defense mechanisms, Fish that are too big to be eaten will more than likely pick at the Axie destroying their gill stocks, causing sores and injures and stressing the animal out, possibly killing it. View this link for species mixing disasters (http://www.caudata.org/cc/articles/Mixing_disasters.shtml) Although Salamanders are very capable of growing back missing limbs it is a very stress full period for them and require very low temperatures that no tropical fish can withstand.
