Hi, my answers in blue..

Got some enquiries..

1) I age my water in a big pail. But it is still water, i.e. no air pump
Is this ok? The water is there between 1-3 days until it has all been used up.
heard from my friend that even aged water need to put in air pump, if not it will become dead water and not very good for fishes. putting in air pump is good also it prevents mosqitoe to breed.. have not used aged water since day 1 of my fish keeping journey..

2) Guppies do not require any air pumps or filter, just a bare tank will do right?

can keep guppies without filters or air pump but will need more frequent water change..

3) If i use a cannister filter, how often should wc be?

this depends on how big is your tank cand canister...
