Axolotls are not showing up in any kind of ocean.I tried several different worlds and the same thing happens in all
They only appear VERY rarely and that is a big problem since they cannot be obtained in any other way
In the previous version (1.17.0) Did not happen. Axolotls were appearing normally and when I upgraded to version 1.17.2 the problem started

Glow squid if they appear to me ... I'm on android but not axolotls

Did you try to go to an ice biome? idk the name but where you can find blue ice, polar bears etc. i have a lot of axolotls & glow squids spawning in this biome

I eventually found some glow squid in the ice oceans. Also found some axolotls by chance too. However, neither spawn underground for me.

I believe this is actually not a bug. Rather, before the Axolotls and Glow Squids were spawning at higher light levels than they were supposed to. They were both intended to only spawn at light level 0. In 1.17.20, they apparently fixed the “issue” of them spawning at light levels above 0. The ice in the frozen ocean decreases the light level, allowing them to spawn more easily.
As for why you aren’t seeing many in caves, it may just be that there’s not many places for them to spawn.
They shouldn't spawn in the oceans. Only in caves under certain conditions. If you cannot find axolotls in a lush cave under certain conditions, this could be a problem MCPE-140859
I have this same issue on Win 10. Are glow squids spawning for you? I'm getting neither axolotls nor glow squids.
