Please what?
look at the changelog:
"Axolotls currently love tropical fish, though this may change. Tropical fish or tropical fish buckets can be used to mate axolotls"
I am unable to reproduce this issue. It just takes time for them to breed.
I found out that it works, and i just had the particles set to minimal, wich caused the hearts to not appear
