have a look around for that post on them being socal.. ed explained greatly about the different types of sociality (is that the word lol?) axies will gather around each other when there is more than one but they dont seem to care if they are alone.

Rory - Here in the states in some stores they sell aquarium kits that come with everything for the tank, the filter, a how to book, they are really nice. I first started out with one and then eventually upgraded to a 4 foot tank with a Rena 75 gallon Canister filter that works beautifully. You're having trouble finding tanks, but perhaps you can find one online? There are even some tanks that have the filter/power house built into the cover of the tank, but I have used one of these, and personally they do not work as nice.
If you can find a nice tank and you want two axolotls, make sure there is room in their for two axolotls. My first tank I had three juvi axies in, and I had been planning to upgrade. In smaller tanks, the less space the more likely the axolotls are to nip and bite at one another. I had a white female who was constantly nipped at or picked on by her two tank mates for a long time. I had to keep removing her, but as soon as I got that 4 foot tank which is perfect for 6 adult axolotls, she became the dominant female lol.

well the average 2 foot tank is around 60L ( 60 x 30 x 30cm) so probably a internal or HOB (hang on back). its not really worth spending hundreds of dollars on a canister unless you are planning to upgrade.
try and find one you can turn down to around half the tanks capacity and turn up to twice
