Catching the groupers is immensely annoying. Here's the secret: follow one until it despawns. Stand next to that area and put your mouse on the despawn point. When one stops there you'll have a moment to click on it before it vanishes. Why chase the groupers when they'll come to you?

Fly to Hibernal Hollow. You'll only see a yellow quest ! for this quest when you're in Ardenweald and have this available as an entertainment for the Ember Court.
Run southwest out of Hibernal Hollow to /way 56.32 55.70 and talk to Niya.
[npc=170856]s are interactable. They're just up the hill at /way 58 57. Avoid the aggressive Highland Bulls. After you click them, you'll make friends, then mount. A moment later, you can ride them back to Niya. Once you return to Niya, you'll automatically dismount.
[npc=174592]s are aggressive and found higher up the waterfall, above where Niya stands, at /way 55 56. Target at a distance and use your net.
This is also where Radiant Groupers appear. You can track them as dots on your minimap. They spawn high up the waterfalls, drop down, then disappear. They're interactable. The easiest way to catch them is with a /tar radiant macro and a keybind for Interact With Target.
(Game Menu > Key Bindings > Targeting. Scroll most of the way down and find Interact With Target.)
Once you have your waders and groupers, go past Niya to the Heron Snack barrel at /way 56.38 55.44 to subdue the waders. Then you can turn in the quest. Don't forget to use the inventory item to add this entertainment to your Ember Court.
This entertainment option is Clean and Safe.
This reminds of that quest in Hyjal saving the critters from the fire. Making us click fast moving things with small hitboxes is an instant headache (literally for me).
My way around it is to make a macro
/tar radiant grouper
And then have your interact with target keybind bound to something.
Saves all that annoying clicking.

What to do
Description
It would be wonderful to show Revendreth the wild creatures of Ardenweald! You can get some Radiant Groupers near the waterfalls. They're fast so you have to grab them as they swim by. Here's a net to use to subdue the Territorial Waders. They should follow you once you've caught them. Highland Runestags will let you ride them if you aren't aggressive. Bring a few here to me, please. Watch out for the bulls, they're not at all friendly. We will get others to help too. This sounds like fun.
