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.

∙ 12y agoyes to filter oxygen and dirty water
An aerator adds oxygen to the water for your fish and does nothing for dirty water other than to move it around!
I have a 75-gallon freshwater tank and have an aerator. I may not need it because my filters add oxygen to the tank also. But I do not want to take chances with my fish so I have a stone aerator in the tank also to ensure they have oxygen.

∙ 14y agoMost goldfish do need an extra source of aeration in their aquarium. However, few people actually choose to provide one. An aerator will only benefit your fish and aren't very expensive compared to other aquarium equipment.

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?
it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.
Is it correct to say a tank that belongs to several fish is the fish's tank?
That depends on what you mean to say. For example, if you have one angel fish in the tank you could say "That's the fish's tank" meaning that is the tank for the angel fish. If you also had a couple of clown fish, you could refer to the tank as belonging to all three fish by saying "That's the fishes' tank." Slightly different spelling and punctuation
