There has been occurrences of them in the River Torrens. https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:c138adf1-7712-4dc4-9eac-0afa6b6927e7 Near Lagonda Dr in Windsor Gardens. However, whether you find any still there will probably depend on many factors.

Thanks Jayc, been reluctant to feed this little bloke anything other than flake or pellets due to uneaten food laying around as he is by himself with no other mates to help clean up. With a feeder dish I can remove anything uneaten. After xmas I'll be after some more for company. SdlTBfanUK, the PRL is alone now the sole survivor and I have been thinking it might be because of that why he is so shy. Another thing came to mind last night was that this is a temporary home for the moment and the light I am using is a daylight fluro tube. Maybe the light is a bit bright as its sitting directly on top of the holding tank and about 225mm above the bottom. I am using IAL and alder cones. Straight out of the filer the RO is reading 0. Haven't tested the PH though. That never occurred to me. I'll do that this morning. I need more water anyhow. I have a couple of small pieces of bush timber as anchors for moss and one small piece of lava rock anchoring a bit of java fern the rest is all moss or floating plants. I did a TDS test on a fair bit of lava rock in a bucket in pure RO for a week and got no appreciable increase from 0. Ambient temp. is around 24c at the moment and will go higher but have fans or a/con. I'll work on the PH to get it down with some peat when it arrives. The new tank is still cycling very veryslowly with high ammonia despite what Amazonia say. Happy to wait it out but doing large water changes to bring it along. Thanks again to both of you and will get back later with results. Dirk

With straight RO water test the PH is around 6.8 to 7 that surprised me a bit as I expected it to be lower. As a matter of interest the KH was still 0 and the GH lower at 2dgh. Dirk
