Default Tank mates for Axolotl?

i have an axolotl in a 10 gallon tank and i want to get a pleco, will those do good together?
or maybe any other types of fish will do good with an axolotl?

No, 2 reasons, plecos get to big for a 10 gal. and its not advisable to have tankmates with them.

Plus, they are way too ugly to be in there with anything else...

U can only have cold water fish, axos must have cold water n u can't have too strong a filter because the current puts too much stress on them. Also make sure the fish r smaller than the axis current size. Maybe try guppies? 0r the little red feeder fish.

They will eat anything that will fit in their mouths and have tempting and delicate gills that are prone to getting nibbled on by fish.
