not sure what to do about the fishes, but we know there are 3*52 = 156 marbles in all. So let's say that the marble amounts, from smallest to largest, could be
52 52 52 - nope, not all different
51 52 53 - works for me.
...
52-15 52 52+15 = 37 52 67 - also works, but maybe you're looking for
37 51 68 where the largest has 31 more than the smallest
52 52 52 - nope, not all different
51 52 53 - works for me.
