New Fish Make a Splash at SI Ferry

Every once and a while we will receive a request from someone who wants to donate their fish. While we always seek to help find new homes for fish, we can't always accommodate these requests due to our high standards for livestock. But a couple of weeks ago we were given an offer we couldn't refuse.

The proud owner of a 12" Red-Belly Pacu, 10" Tin Foil Barbs, and a bevy of large Cichlids (Jack Dempsey's, Sunshine, Peacocks, etc.) contacted us, explaining that he was moving out of town and was hoping to give his pets a new home -- in this case, the Staten Island Ferry fish tanks.

The twin tanks, which City Aquarium has been maintaining since 2009, were once saltwater installations. We renovated them after Hurricane Sandy struck and reopened them about a year ago as freshwater systems.

Fortunately, the client's fish were in great health and looked terrific. So, last week, aquarists Casey Carter and James Biggers did the honors of introducing the new fish to the tanks. We hope the people of SI and who visit the Ferry like the new denizens. And we're glad to have helped a pet owner in need.
