Just what it says....

I've never heard much about the difficulties of keeping these fish.....
Are they pink spotted filefish,shouldn't be taken from the sea difficult OR,
are they not much more delicate and harder to keep than most other advanced hobbyest only fish- like cleaner or leopard wrasse.
I've been keeping delicate fish for over 30 years (finding healthy, eating specimens, not collected with [SIZE=-1]Cyanide[/SIZE] seems to be the hardest part for me)
Are the yellow tails any easier to manage?
I bought a yellow tail without doing the proper research, it lived a week.
After that experience I read up on them and could not find one person that has had long term success with them. with that knowledge why would you want to take that fish from the sea? just because it's pretty and you want a challenge?
