My question is how you actually managed to net your filefish. I have a niger trigger who has a real digging habit that I have been trying to catch for a long time!
I had no problem I have a cube with lots of open space. 36x36x21 so i just put the net in and follow him around and get him to a corner and wait a second for him to move and he goes up and the net follows him. I have always had good luck in netting my fish.

Doesn't matter how much you have been reading until you take the plunge.
You don't know as much as you think.
