*However, only the first 25 fish and invertebrates species seen can be included in the total to avoid people with greater access to places such as aquariums and butterfly farms getting too large of an advantage in the challenge.

A point which probably is worth clarifying going forward - does this rule pertain to the first 25 fish and invertebrates combined, or the first 25 fish and the first 25 invertebrates?
