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.
Which target is closest to filling?
The red fish with pale vertical stripes shows 2/3, and the crab shows 1/3. An orange-purple striped fish occupies the holding bar. A red-striped pair is exposed in the center, while crab candidates appear in upper-left, upper-right, middle-right, and lower-left groups. Check the target portraits before confusing the held striped orange fish with the red target.
Where is the key relative to the chain?
The bottom-center group has a chain marked 1 and contains red-striped, white-and-black striped, green-and-cream, and orange-striped pieces. The key sits in the bottom-right group beside a crab, green-and-cream fish, and smooth blue fish. These locations help follow the walkthrough, without assuming that selecting any nearby crab automatically opens the chain.
What else is covered or already paired?
The bottom-left frosty group shows 2 and includes red-striped pieces under its surface. A smooth blue pair is exposed in the upper-right area, and a black-and-white round pair sits toward the upper left. Compare exposed and covered candidates separately, particularly if you are looking for the third red-striped fish to fill the 2/3 order.
