Do betta fish need air? Bettas can survive without an air pump, unlike other aquarium fish, since they have a special respiratory organ called a labyrinth in addition to their gills. The labyrinth allows them to breathe very small amounts of air. This is why bettas can be kept in bowls without an air supply attached.

Spittlebugs use the bubbly substance as protection from predators, extreme temperatures and drying out. Spittlebug foam can be unsightly, but one or two of the larvae will not significantly harm a plant. In great numbers, however, spittlebugs will eat so much sap they can weaken a plant and inhibit its growth.

Air-breathing is essential for survival and development in most tadpoles, yet we found that all tadpoles at small body sizes were unable to break through the water's surface to access air. Nevertheless, by 3 days post-hatch and only 3 mm body length, all began to breathe air and fill the lungs.

Although the axolotl is colloquially known as a "walking fish", it is not a fish, but an amphibian. ... Neither should they be confused with mudpuppies (Necturus spp.), fully aquatic salamanders that are not closely related to the axolotl but bear a superficial resemblance.
