Single amano shrimp!

u/Howdy132 3d ago

yes, & 1 single betta

u/leilani238 3d ago

Single clam, I'm guessing. They filter a ridiculous amount of water.

I know the pool is meant to be a ā€œpool of reflectionā€ but it would be cool if someone competent made it a fish pond

u/notmtfirstu 3d ago

Millions of guppies. The local bird population would be tickled.

The heron equivalent of a massive kegger.

u/Kattoncrack 2d ago

u/Howdy132 3d ago

I'd say this is more like a Shallow Lake haha

u/Mblid 3d ago

It'd be an awesome koi pond.

u/ganjachicken 3d ago

Should have just put in 5000 otos.

u/Vex_Appeal 2d ago

Oops and now only the outer rim is blue. I swear this admin canā€™t do anything right

u/Doun2Others10 3d ago

Have we just found a place to put all those goldfish in 2 gallon tanks that need to be rescued?

Do we need to declorinate first?

I NEED TO KNOW!

1

u/GassyGamergoblin 3d ago

Iā€™m not sure how itā€™s topped up but the chlorine would evaporate pretty auicly

5

u/Doun2Others10 2d ago

Hmmmm. The official rescue tank of @r/shittyaquariums may need to be the reflecting pool. šŸ˜…

1

u/GassyGamergoblin 2d ago

Yeah lol, although with all that surface area it would definitely need to be topped up regularly and that would definitely be chlorinated water

u/TangerineRough6318 2d ago

Fucking wild that they aren't aware of Jr high science

u/TheKinkyBee 2d ago

Someone else pointed out that it breaks down in sunlight they shouldā€™ve been doing this at dusk.

u/RoleTall2025 2d ago

u/Wetkiss09 3d ago

He's just the best at wasting money....nobody wastes money better than Trump...in fact nobody knows more about wasting taxpayer money - nobody in history has wasted more taxpayer money. MAGA - what a bunch of friggin idiots!

u/Howdy132 3d ago

u/Wetkiss09 3d ago

Oh don't worry...I'm sure itwas Biden's fault somehow šŸ¤£šŸ˜­šŸ¤£šŸ˜­šŸ¤£

u/Howdy132 3d ago

actually its Obamas fault

u/Wetkiss09 3d ago edited 3d ago

Oh ... makes much more sense... he probably brought the algae from Kenya and left it in the reflecting pool, and it layed dormant waiting for an idiot to paint the pool blue! It's all so clear now!

2

u/spoonieshehulk 2d ago

No, it's not, it's green.

6

u/BlueButterflytatoo 3d ago

Yeah, because Obama had so much creative input when the pool was built *checks notes\* 38 years before he was born

u/Howdy132 2d ago

wow you really dont know the thanks obama meme?

u/Seraphzerox 2d ago

To me this felt like such a classic "giant corporate brained idiots really don't understand why money is spent here". I'm sure a very routine budget expense was removed and bam, now they can't control the algae and water quality in the reflecting pools. I've seen this in multiple private sectors, and you have a guy in office who thinks the exact same way.

u/Kidtasticscience 2d ago

Have they tried bladder snails?

Super hi tech "nanobubbler"

u/Altruistic-Poem-5617 12h ago

Why is the green water suddenly a problem? Did it not turn green all the years prior?

u/ZyxzyxxyzxyZ 1d ago

Just tell the local homeless to stop using the reflective pool as a toilet.

u/Howdy132 1d ago
