In his original manuscript for this work, Bruce extended an invitation to readers to contact him about their own fish discoveries, offering to help confirm their identifications and to provide supplemental information.

One of Bruce's great pleasures in the wake of the publication of his self-published Butterfly Blocks: The Butterflies of West Mount Airy (2002-2004) had been a similar email correspondence with his readers. In addition to fish and butterflies, Bruce's love of nature also encompassed sea shells, birds, reptiles, and mammals.
