Not to adults. I had two axies in a 10gallon and they outgrew it in a month. Its hard to keep the water clean because they make so much waste in so little water. The tank keep crashing. I have my two(about 7.5") in a 25gallon and its great now! Minimum is 20gallon for two adults but you probably would want more. Im going to be saving up soon for a 55gallon for my two and my other two little guys who arent in tanks yet(2.5")

you COULD but it would mean daily water changes and at least once a week you would have to test your water (liquid not strips) to make sure it's safe for them. If you don't mind the extra work and they don't grow too big for the tank it should be okay (although bigger = better)

if i suck u any poo when i see it would that help because i bought this tube that will suck it up and i will do weekly 50% water changes will this be enough?

I wouldn't try it, personally. That water change schedule might work in a 14g tank with one axolotl, but I doubt it would work for two.

As Alkylhalide and Quentari said, the absolute minimum size for two axolotls should be 20 gallons, but preferably larger. Keep in mind that the furniture in an aquarium (hides, plants, substrate, etc) take up water volume that can be used to help dilute toxins in the water. The greater the water volume, the better.
