Does my fish tank need an air pump?

[Noneya]

I just read the following I am now really confused?

http://www.firsttankguide.net/airpump.php

Are air pumps Necessary or not in fish tanks?

[nursekuba]

I've always used an air pump in a fish tank to keep the water moving and circulating. You can get a cheap air pump at Wal-mart or whatever.

[evelynmarch26]

An airpump is only necessary if you don't have a filter on your tank

People usually use it with decorations, which creates bubbles through use of the airpump

You can always add one for additional oxygen though




Hope that helps
Good luck
