Something smells fishy.
A Bed-Stuy fire-hydrant-fueled street aquarium that went viral on social media was forced to close due to frigid temperatures and snow — but organizers claim the fish are alive and swimming in a secret location.
The attraction in a shallow tree put has drawn c oncern from animal activists who said the conditions were no way for its occupants to live, and a number of the feeder fish died when the FDNY stopped the leaky hydrant at the tree pit, then cemented over its original spot.
But organizers said this week the fish have been moved to a nearby outdoor koi pond on private property, despite freezing winter temperatures.
Roughly 30 surviving fish that survived midnight rescues, the FDNY cleanup and various giveaways to local children were moved several days ago to the backyard pond, according to Devang Shah, a local resident and architect who helps manage the project.
