LeBron Math

If my free throw percent 75%

FT#1 ----------/----------/----------/----------/ 75% made
                   25%         50%        75%       100%
FT#2 -------/-------/-------/-------/     75x75% made
            25%    50%   75%  100%
FT#3-----/-----/-----/-----/     75x75x75% made

So your % gets lower every time.

At the end I would have o.o6

Axolotls

Axolotls are gone or are 2 or 3 in the wild

The four C'S


  • Cold water
  • Clean water
  • Calm water
  • de Chlorinated water
The best kind of filter is a sponge filter. You want one because it keeps water from moving to much.

Food

  • Axolotl's can smell their food.
  • The food should be soft and sink to the bottom of the tank.
  • Don't use live food.
  • No bait worms or outside sources of food.
Aquarium Freinds

Not many freinds 

  • Fish no
  • snails yes
  • Other Axolotls yes
Problems 

Only big gravel

If the water gets warm they might get gill infection. If this happens put them in the fridge.

If there arms of limbs get bitten off by a other axolotl's. just put them in the fridge and the wound will slowly grow right back.
