What is a similarity in the respiration of the whale and the guppy?
The resparatory system between fish and human is very different in its physical sense, but the need for oxygen is the same. Fish inhale oxygen rich H2O and their gills divide the water from the oxygen. Fish gills expell all other components except oxygen. Humans enhale air and our lungs divide all other components and expell it except oxygen.

What is the niche of guppies in an aquarium?
To look nice and be a delightful little pet, but from a more scientific perspective a guppy provides ammonia from both respiration and waste which the nitrosomas bacteria pair off with an oxygen molecule thus creating a nitrite which nitrobacter bacteria then convert into nitrate which aquatic plants then eat. Also guppies produce carbon dioxide which the plants use for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis the plants give off oxygen which the guppy can then use. It is a very well balanced cycle giving off very little or ideally no waste.
