Aerobic bacteria breath oxygen as they do their work. These aerobic bacteria are needed to convert the deadly poisonous Ammonia that all fish produce in water, firstly into poisonous Nitrite and then convert the Nitrite into virtually harmless Nitrate.

Why is it important to pump air through the aeration basin?
To keep oxygen in the water for the bacteria that "eat" wastes in the water to help purify it. If the oxygen level gets to low, the bacteria die, and the water in the basin doesn't get cleaned.
How do you fix low oxygen in an aquarium?
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.
