How did she know there were fish to begin with?
Rogers included the text of the girl's letter in his book, "Dear Mister Rogers, Does It Ever Rain in Your Neighborhood?" published in 1996.
As he noted in the book:
One girl and her family wrote to tell us there was a special reason why she wanted me to talk about feeding the fish each day.
Dear Mister Rogers,
Please say when you are feeding your fish, because I worry about them. I can’t see if you are feeding them, so please say you are feeding them out loud.
Katie, age 5 (Father’s note: Katie is blind, and she does cry if you don’t say that you have fed the fish.)1 -

That doesn't help me
So she clearly knew there were fish because Mr. Rogers says hello to the *kitten* fish sometimes......
I mean, she could hear them.1 -

She probably saw the episode where he and Officer Clemmons were seeing who could swallow the most live goldfish.
I mean...heard.0 -

Sounds like my childhood was missing some quality programming
Either that or my brothers made the whole thing up while I was blindfolded and tied to a chair while playing a game of "Ransom".1 -

No where did it say he said hello to the fish! That makes sense
He always talks to his fish. It's the only thing he really does.0 -

I know he wears sweaters. And also something about a train
Mr. Rogers loves to run trains.... to imagination land where he meets all his friends like the duck lady and the cat boy that lives in the clock tower.0 -
