    This is not news! It's actually cruel and wasteful… WTF?
  • @sibhuskyguy
    Hate to break it to the locals but that's animal cruelty. It has too many fish, all of which when full grown will be 16 inches or bigger and can live 40 years or more. Fish do not stop growing when placed in too small a small tank. They end up dying of poor water conditions, basically choking on their own waste well before their natural lifespan would have ended. That and chlorine in the water can also kill goldfish. They're hearty not immortal...
  • Love how NBC zoomed into the story with “The Bronx” when it was in Brooklyn lol
  • Those goldfish need to be saved, the locals have no idea what they're doing even if the intention is good.

    I like how the hydrant was leaking for ever until they added the fish & went viral. Then they had the “resources” to fix it. If they didn’t do that the hydrant would probably still be leaking to this day

    They will die if you don't relocate them to a tank or an aquarium.

    A fish hospital. 🐟 Also why did he put them in there. Nothing better to do. This world is nuts.
  • @Ny-mb7vh
    Good intentions with a little bit of mental health issues. We all suffer growing up in the concrete jungle just got to figure out how to cope with it
  • @avery2041
    There's no way they can live there sustainably, they're not a novelty they are living creatures who need to be relocated l

  • You gota be so dumb to dump gold fish into a puddle and think that's ok... but whatever 🙄
  • @S2KV
