Nothing can live without oxygen. Guppies get their oxygen from the water by using their gills. An air bubbler does absolutely no good to the water.

The rules of fishkeeping are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water but more is better. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.Follow the rules and you stand a chance of keeping fish successfully. Miss out on any of them, and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.
What does aerators do in a fish tank?
The aerator in a fish tank pushes air into the water. Some of the oxygen from the air stays in the water so that the fish in the aquarium can breath it. Even though fish live in the water, they still need oxygen to live. When they pass the water through their gills, the oxygen in the water is taken into the fish's blood stream.

How do fish hydrate them selfs?
Most fish that live in the ocean, take in saltwater through their mouths. They then filter out the air (which is how they get oxygen) and blow the water out of their gills. When they need water they start with the same by taking the saltwater into their mouths but, this time they filter out the oxygen AND salt and just keep the clean water. Explaining how they filter this would take to long so this is just the simple answer. I hope it was useful and informant.
