Bluehead Tilefish?

[elliot.knapp]

Hi, I beat the game and am now trying to complete everything! There's only one fish in Marinca I haven't seen at all--it's no. 0101, I believe the Bluehead Tilefish. It's supposedly around during daytime in the 50-130m depth but I haven't seen it at all! Checked the Sea People Record Room and shipwreck, as I believe these are the only two areas in that depth where it might pop up later but no dice. Any tips on where it lurks?

It's a tiny blue fish, usually in groups of 3. It pops up in the main map at the depth you said. Don't think it shows up in every map, but just keep an eye out for tiny blue fish with a small yellow stripe in the mid-depth.

Thank you! Definitely helpful to know about the size. It took a LOT (10+) of dives but I finally found it. I was getting super frustrated but it turns out it's tied to the weather--it has to be raining. This fish and a couple others only appear in a biome/map that shows up when it's raining. There are a couple biomes that seem to be pretty rare or cycle on/off with long turnarounds--the other one that took forever is the one that includes combers and ornate wrasse--by the time I was looking for them they were gone for weeks!

For what it's worth I just catched this one during foggy weather.
