I wouldn't suggest getting the guppy in the first place. It's not like the fish will die within hours, but a week without an air pump and the fish will either be very unhealthy or most likely die. You can probably find a way to replicate an air pump, such as putting a vacuum cleaner in there and having it blow out, but that would not be very good either. It completely depends on how long the air pump will be out and how large the tank is along with how many fish are in there. My guess though is about 3 days at the least.

Almost no fish can live without a pump. Unless you don't care if it live do four hours. A catfish can live in a 5 gallon tank for maybe a month. Then you would have to buy a bigger tank. The smallest catfish grows to about 5-6 inches. A good thumb rule: 1 inch of fish per gallon. I hope this helped! :):)

Can not having an air pump kill your aquarium fish?
if you have 1 or 2, then no. just dont put a tight cover on the cage because the fish use our oxygen from the top of the water to breathe. if you have a bunch of fish,you might need one. :) It is possible your fish will not survive without the pump. It depends on what you are using to induce air into the water. There are some varieties of fish that do not need a pump such as gold fish and bettas. Call your local Pet store for more information when in doubt. Most fish tank kits come with a pump included. Technically, the "air pump" is not necessary at all; oxygen does not get into the water from the bubbles. What the bubbles really do is cause the water to circulate, bringing water up from the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank where it can pick up oxygen from the air. Any other method of circulating the water in the tank would work just as well.

What types of fish don't need a filter?
Technically, most fish can survive without pumps and air fulters in a large outdoor pond with a large surface area for ixygen to enter the water and plants to clean the water. However, if keeping them as pets you should always provide pumps and filters, ir they will live very short lives. Otherwise it would be similar to keeping a human in a dark crate with little oxygen and no waste disposal. do not belive that betta fish can live in these terrible conditions, as it is unfair to them
