我想要與大家分享一件事，就是在最近幾天來在慈鯛魚室同好網慈鯛目錄中的慈鯛照片(除了棲地照片中的，文章，討論區等的之外)已經達到10,000張!這個讓我們感到是個相當的成就並想要與大家一起慶賀。我們非常高興我們能提供你，我們的支持者們，這種空前的服務!這些在CRC目錄中的照片，你要知道，並不只是任何奇怪的快照，它們多數是自天然棲地中所拍攝且所有的照片都是從任何特定魚種所取得的最佳品質成果，而且多是來自世界上最佳的慈鯛攝影師所拍攝。在某些情況中我們有某些魚種的照片未曾在其他地方出現過且有許多是首次發表做為無名物種的插圖之用。除了這些之外，我們的目錄是世界上所能取得的最具可信度的慈鯛身分資源，我們的照片目前有90%都是已被慈鯛界的許多頂尖學者保證是圖示在正確物種上。當然達到這樣的目標不意味著我們現在可以鬆懈；相反的，它讓我們重新有能量持續不懈在這個工作上，即每一天都發表有關慈鯛的新照片和新資訊。對於在慈鯛魚室同好網這個付出中盡一份心力的人獻上由衷的感謝!.
