Try putting clean water in a washing up bowl and putting them in that over night until you get a pump. the clean water will have oxygen in...enough for over night.

yes that should do the trick to. the new water will give enough oxygen til you get another pump. hope he lives jacky. I had a fish death at work last week. I saved one but sadly he died on the monday :( gutted.....poor lucky.
 
well you will have to get the other one to do back stroke and your next door will be at home
 
changing some of the water seems to have helped,he's belly down for now,must have been lack of oxygen,thanks all

the black 1 is a bottom feeder but the big 1 eats all the food so i have to put alot of food in hence the big fish
 
lol scooby doo wouldnt shock him,all you have to do is walk into the kitchen and the fish blows bubbles onto the side of the tank and you can hear them popping,hes a really greedy fish
