"What started as a pool of water around just another gurgling hydrant in Bedford-Stuyvesant flourished into a small ecosystem when local residents brought in goldfish."
"A woman tending to the makeshift aquarium with goldfish created by a leaky fire hydrant in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in September."
"The aquarium, as residents called it, was a conversation piece in the neighborhood, she said. But on Friday morning, when Ms. Hralima woke up early to run to the grocery store, she discovered a very different scene."
"The city's Department of Environmental Protection was removing the fish, the colorful pebbles and even the fake fauna of their little oasis, and paving over the pond."
