Brooklyn puddle fish pond still going strong – though some people are stealing the fish

The fire-hydrant fish pond in Bedford-Stuyvesant is still going strong despite threats from the city — and a plague of sticky-fingered passers-by who kept swiping the goldfish from their curbside home., and the population ballooned to 200 fish once the creators saw how popular they were with the neighbors and added to the numbers.

The DEP did not return a Post request for comment Tuesday, but a rep previously said that the sidewalk fish pond “is not a suitable or safe location” for the fish. “I have no fish that died. They are well-fed,” he boasted, adding that he and his friends use their own pocket change to keep the effort going.

Maria Jose, 24, pulled her CitiBike up to the curb Tuesday morning with a wind chime to complement the small waterfall provided by the hydrant.
