For the first time I listed a sequence of correct guesses by providing all possible combinations and I got
the below sequence

1353273474....

And I tabulating arrangement of fishes with respect to the above sequence as below

N G B ST F P S
S ST N P G B F
ST F P S N G B
S ST N P G B F
S N G B ST F P
P G B F S ST N
P S N G B ST F
F S ST N P G B

| N- Nemo , S-Stinger , ST-SharkTooth ,G-Gill , B-Bubbles , P-Phamplet , F-Flow

From the above table I observed that there are only two arrangement of fishes exist for that particular
sequence (connected circular) and for alternate guesses the arrangement are same

From the above table the fishes are arranged in same sequence for row 1,3,5,7 and the arrangement is
like follows

N,G,B,ST,F,P,S

And the fishes in row 2,4,6,8 are in the following sequence

S,ST,N,P,G,B,F

So I re arranged the sequence of correct guesses with respect to the above arrangements as follows in
order to find some logic behind it but no luck 

Arrangement 1: 1,5,2,3,7

Arrangement2: 3,3,7,4,4

So I moved forward to generate another sequence of correct guesses by increasing the minimum
number of guesses and I got the same sequence for number of guess value 11 but I found different
sequence for value 12 and the sequence is
 4,3,5,7,2,7,6,4,7,1

After tabulating the sequence as above I observed that the same arrangements of fishes in this
sequence also and I split the sequence according to the arrangements and it looks as follows

Arrangement 1: 4,5,2,6,7

Arrangement2: 3,7,7,4,1

And when I tried to generate one more correct guess sequence I observed that no more possible
sequence exists, so I extended the above sequences up to 16 correct guesses and noted according to the
possible arrangement that looks as follows

Sequence 1: 1,3,5,3,2,7,3,4,7,4,4,1,5,5,2,5 and the arrangement is as follows

Arrangement 1: 1,5,2,3,7,4,5,2

Arrangement2: 3,3,7,4,4,1,5,5

Sequence 2: 4,3,5,7,2,7,6,4,7,1,4,1,1,5,2,2 and the arrangement is as follows

Arrangement1: 4,5,2,6,7,4,1,2

Arrangement2: 3,7,7,4,1,1,5,2

After observing the above two sequences and arrangements I found the following things

| s

In Arrangement 1:

| values at positions 1,4,7,10 and so on are incremented by value 2

| Ãalues at position {2,3},{5,6},{8,9}, and so on are remains same in both sequences and the
values in the set increases by value 2 when they move from one set to other
a.| for set {2,3} the values are {5,2}
b.| for set {5,6} the values are {7,4}
c.| for set {8,9} the values are {2,6}( 7+2=9 but as the max value of guess is 7 we have to
start again from 1 after crossing 7)
In arrangement 2:

| After every set of two numbers the value increment by 1

| And the set of numbers also increment by one
Ex: if the first 3 values are x,y,y then the sequence is as follows
X,y,y,x+1,y+1,y+1,x+2,y+2,y+2͙..( if once the value of x or y =7 then x+1 or y+1 equal to 1)

According to above work I observed that

If the sum of minimum attempts value is not a multiple of 3 then the answer is sequence 1 and if the
sum of minimum attempts value is multiple of 3 then the answer is sequence 2.
