You need to aerate it. If you have no filtration/aeration system, get a cup, scoop up water and drop it back into the aquarium from a height of about twenty centimetres. Do this for one minute every four or five hours until you can set up a filtration or aeration system. Overstocked tanks (too many fish) will use up oxygen faster than it can be replaced, even by an aeration system. Adding live plants will also help to remove carbon dioxide and add oxygen to the water.
