Level 165: early-board notes
These notes describe visible checkpoints in the Daisy Gaming recording, reviewed on . Use them alongside the video to compare your board. They are not a complete tap-by-tap solution; fish names below describe colors and shapes, not official species names.

The recorded progress counter has a goal of 162. This is the on-screen counter, not a move count or a count of fish visible in one frame.
Two purple portraits, two different matches
At 0:10, the first order shows a blue-faced fish with large purple fins. The second shows a plain purple fish and is at 2/3 in the recording. The displayed counter goal is 162. A plain purple fish sits in the lower-center bubble above a blue-and-yellow fish, while two blue-faced purple-finned fish are grouped near the bottom center.
Notice the two fish already in the holding bar
An orange-red fish and a blue-and-yellow fish occupy the bar at this checkpoint. That matters when comparing your run: the board can look similar while those unmatched pieces change your available space. Check both portraits before following the next section of the video, rather than assuming the bar is empty after an order fills.
Inspect the plain purple candidate before opening another design
With the second order showing 2/3, locate an accessible plain purple fish first. The lower-center candidate is a useful place to compare with the recording. It is not interchangeable with the nearby blue-faced purple-finned pair. If your second target has already changed, move the video to the point where that replacement order appears before continuing.
Video source and version check
This Level 165 mapping was verified from the Daisy Gaming Fish Sort Puzzle playlist on 2026-09-30. The guide targets the Shycheese game with Android package triple.sorting.bubble.fish.match. Updates can change a board, so report a mismatch with the app version and opening layout.
