Hi there, that set-up doesn't sound too good for a variety of reasons..... a pleco will out-grow that in no time, the goldfish might be nice but i wouldn't suggest a community tank for axies in the slightest.
A separate tank for the axie would be best.....

Please browse these forums to find the best way to keep an axolotl happy before you consider actually getting one......feel free to ask questions by all means :happy:

Have a read through axolotl.org. It will have all the information you need to get started!

As for the goldfish, you should get a different tank for it. Not only are they disgusting fish but they will nibble on your axololts gills.

Goldfish are like swimming rats..... only they make more of a mess than a rat does.

I´m confused as to where the "fast" part of the title comes from... xD

Exactly what I was thinking..if you really want to provide the ideal environment for your Axolotl, take your time and don't rush into it. Get a nice big tank to keep your Axolotl in, and keep the fish in the 10 gallon.
