City crews paved over the beloved Bed-Stuy Aquarium, the makeshift pond that once housed dozens of goldfish, upsetting neighbors and causing some to remember the community grounds.

It happened late Thursday near Tompkins Avenue and Hancock Street.

“Everyone is grieving, it gave a community a sense of where we can go, where we belong,” Kossivi Alokovi said.

While Alf Erlandson told News 4: “It’s disappointing.”

The handful of fish that survived the ordeal now sit in a bucket on a bench and the missing pond is decorated with flickering candles and bunches of flowers.

Residents called this place the “Bed-Stuy Aquarium.” The nearby bright blue and orange painted pole organizers are a reminder of what this community lost Thursday night. Community members who cared for the fish cobbled the pond together over the summer;

In August they told us there was a leaking fire hydrant and a sunken area around it made this all possible.

The sudden change came after members of the FDNY conducted an inspection, and later DEP crews did the paving.

A representative of the said agency fears that the fire hydrant could freeze and become unusable this winter.

The spokesperson added: “We look forward to working with community members to find a suitable alternative location for this makeshift gem, including in a community garden half a block away.”

“If the city wants to work with us and move it, I would be very happy about that. But otherwise they came and killed all our fish twice in two days, these guys,” said Roey Rozen.

Rozen became so upset Friday that he wrote “fish pond” in the wet cement with his finger. Afterward, two DEP police officers detained him but eventually let him go.

Rozen said, “I narrowly escaped arrest, but I mean, I understand the city to the extent that you have to follow the rules and guidelines, but things like that bring the community together, I don’t see the city taking any initiative for that. “

The FDNY added a lock to the hydrant to prevent it from leaking. City officials also say the new concrete is there to ensure pedestrian safety.
