The New York City fire hydrant Fish Pond (also known as the Hancock Street Bed-Stuy Aquarium) is a makeshift goldfish pond located on a sidewalk in the Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn neighborhood of New York City. The pond, formed by a puddle from a leaky fire hydrant, has garnered significant attention since its creation in August 2024. Local residents populated the shallow water with goldfish, transforming it into an unexpected community attraction. The project has since become the subject of both praise and criticism, with debates about animal welfare, urban beautification, and gentrification surrounding the installation.
