The makeshift goldfish pond in Bed-Stuy, a social media sensation, is no more after a FDNY fire hydrant inspection. But residents say they're already working to bring it back.
The makeshift fire hydrant pond in Bed-Stuy that captured the hearts of locals and became a social media sensation is no more after an FDNY inspection earlier this week. "I’m not feeling good, because we took care of it for 4 months," said Hajj Malik Lovick, one of the co-founders of the pond. "Every day I come out in the morning and take care of the fish.
The department said they needed to check for any physical damage, water flow, and drainage. After clearing all three areas, the hydrant was turned off to ensure it would function properly in the event of an emergency.However, when the hydrant was turned back on at full blast, the surge of water disturbed the dirt in the pond and caused many of the 100 goldfish in the pond to be displaced. According to Lovick, this led to the death of several fish.
