MARIETTA (DA) — Ozzie Albies visited a class at Lockheed Elementary, donated a fish tank, then gifted the students one of his own goldfish, according to an Instagram post from his wife, Andreia Albies.
“He set up an entire tank, taught them how to properly care for it, answered every question, and gifted them one of his very own goldfish, born and raised in his personal aquarium. Now her name is Sandy,” Andreia Albies wrote.
The visit started with a letter. Andreia Albies said students wrote to Albies to ask what type of fish they should get as a class pet, and Albies responded by telling the school he wanted to visit and donate both fish and a tank.
“The kids were fully engaged, so curious, and their thank-you notes meant everything to us,” she continued, adding that they planned to upload a video of the install to his YouTube page in the coming days.
Albies is also a fish collector with an Instagram page called “Ozzie’s Fishes,” where he shares photos and videos of his home aquariums, and he posts fish-related videos on YouTube.
