Hope I can get some on the way there sightseeing.

GO to fresh sea food centres, can buy big ones. Not cheap thou. Perth is a cray fish haven.

My dad's friend owns land with streams in Tasmania, but probably need chiller to own one of these protected species thou.

BTW the Blue Moons you purchased looked more like Pink Corals. But then again, it might be just another common name mix up. The Blue Moon I meant has a dark blue base on the carapace with blue/green claws and blue legs, as compared to the bright purple base on the carapace with blue claws and blue legs of the ones you have. Both are still yet undescribed formally and are known as Cherax sp. though. There is another species commonly called Red Brick (Cherax lorentzii/sp.), which has a dark brown/purple base on the carapace with purple claws and purple/brown legs. There is also a species commonly called Blue Brick (Cherax sp.) which has a light brown/green base on the carapace with green/blue claws and green/blue legs. The latter two species sometimes come together with the Blue Moon.

Generally a neutral pH will do okay for the crayfishes, with slight alkaline conditions also sustainable. Like all crustaceans, crayfishes have shell consisting of Calcium Carbonate and naturally will do better in slight alkaline conditions as compared to slight acidic conditions, when the water is not at a neutral pH of 7.
