anchar Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hi, Just a tip - check the mouths out really well. I bought some from the east a while back (about 12 mths ago) and they had almost a fuellie mouth Also of the 10 I bought 7 were the same fish, the other 3 were something else. Never the less, there was not one afra amongst them! Still, we live and learn.merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Hi Guys -I have heard there are not many "pure" blue afra left in the country. If I were you I'd focus your attention elsewhere.Buyer beware . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E4G13M4N Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 The cobue/cobwe depending on how you want to spell it, should be still on the pure side, as they are relativly new and at this stage still not available from wholesalers but breeders only ..The blue afra different locale and been around for a lot longer, mislabelled etc etc so finding pure ones is a lot harder ..I bought some afra from one of the northern wholesalers some were blue a couple looked like jalo reefs and a couple finished up OB morph ..Although i was not happy, the mangrove jack was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurea23 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I would have to agree with all that is said hard to find good afras.. You really have to know there shapes , jaw structure etc to try even get close...Some of the ones that should be pure areJalo reef (yellow dorsal afra)Cobwe / cobuesp lion mara rockslumbillo (yellow blaze) extremely rare....There are some purists in melbourne that claim to have pure "blue" afras however have yet to seen the stock to confirmregardsMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
