Hi Thomas,
 The hardness of my water was 13 dH. The rams appeared and acted perfectly
normal this morning when I fed them. What really boggles my mind, is that
they died within minutes. I noticed the first one swimming spirals. Then it
started breathing infrequently and heavy, then 2 minutes later went another
one, then the third. It must have been poisoning of some sort. But whatever
it was, it didn't affect the other dwarfs. At least, until I left for work.
