No. It is devoid of dissolved minerals and will leach ions out of your axolotl's body.

Plus, a lot of rain is now considered quite acidic due to what **** we dump into our atmosphere, so I bet the pH is too low to be comfortable...

Hello everyone. I started to use rainwater to replenish evaporated water in my tank Axos. In my town the weather is very hot so I've been replacing approx 4-6 liters per week. Is this safe?

I would advise against using rain water for the reasons Kaysie mentioned above.
Do make sure that you still do regular water changes, just topping up will not remove any build ups chemicals such as Ammonia.
