A viral community aquarium next to a fire hydrant in Brooklyn now serves as a forlorn makeshift graveyard for its fishy occupants, after the project was shut down by the New York City Fire Department.
The site, a small puddle containing the fish in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, attracted dozens of visitors from across the city and the state. Now, dried up and empty, the surrounding Halloween decorations give off a more mournful atmosphere.
