Water pump does nothing for the aquarium.
Aquarium filter on the other hand, does biological filtration for the tank.
You need to understand the natural behind having a filter in the tank. It is for nitrogen cycle. Fish produce ammonia as waste, and some beneficial bacteria feed on ammonia will colonize the filter media. They convert ammonia into nitrite, then convert nitrite into nitrate.
Ammonia and nitrite are both toxic. Nitrate is relatively harmless at low concentration, yet it can crash the PH and lower fish immune system if the concentration is too high.
For a well maintained aquarium, we do partial water change of 30~50% once a week in order to keep nitrate in check, as well as to restore water buffer and minerals.
To understand this better, you need to learn more about aquarium nitrogen cycle.

Yes, fish do add weight to the overall weight of the water in a pond. This is because the fish has mass, which adds to the mass of the water. As the fish swims around in the pond, it displaces the water in the pond, which adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. Furthermore, when a fish excretes waste or urine, it adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. The additional organic matter in the water, such as food particles and other organic materials, also add to the overall weight of the water in the pond.
