Level 96: 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 fresh orders sit beside a completed shell
Gold-striped purple and blue seahorse both show 0/3, while the colored fan-shell order shows 3/3. Purple-striped candidates remain on the middle left, middle right, and bottom center. Seahorses are visible near the upper center, upper right, and bottom center. Compare those separate shapes with the two active portraits rather than following the shell completion toward another colored piece.
The lower-center white-and-black pair is another design
Two flat white-and-black fish share the lower-center group. A spotted octopus-like pair sits at the bottom left, while smooth blue and spiky spotted-blue pieces occur in other groups. These provide useful landmarks for matching the checkpoint, but none substitutes for purple stripes or an upright seahorse. Blue color alone does not identify a seahorse match.
The upper-left orb is strongly obscured
A large glowing outline under the bar on the upper left obscures much of its contents. Do not assign a hidden identity from that effect. Green spotted, whisker-like fish elsewhere differ from green-and-cream fish in earlier levels. Wait for the shell's replacement portrait and use the exposed purple and seahorse candidates to compare your board while the effect clears.

This Level 96 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.
