Wednesday, October 23, 2024 8:56PMMichelle Charlesworth reports on the beloved Bed-Stuy aquariumThe popular makeshift fire hydrant goldfish aquarium in Brooklyn has dried up after the FDNY had to shut down the aquarium to fix the leaking hydrant.
Residents created the homemade goldfish tank after a leaky fire hydrant created a puddle on the sidewalk. During a routine inspection, the fire department drained the water on Tuesday to seal the leak in the fire hydrant, which resulted in the fish dying.The fire department said the leaking hydrant and homemade pond is a safety issue and that they need to access the hydrant in case of an emergency."I came over to see it, I didn't know that it was shut down," a visitor said."I just came to sit down and have my lunch there. But I guess it's gone," a neighbor said.
Residents even came up with a plan to keep the fish alive during the winter by regulating the temperature of the water with a solar panel and heater.Malik was the aquarium keeper with a successful TikTok account that attacked people from all over.People say they do understand the firefighters were just doing their jobs to make sure that the hydrant works and that the people who live here have a working fire plug.
