electricty for aerator pumps/aquariums

[nohorn]

My son has a nice aquarium, with fish that have lived a very long time (needle nosed somthings); what does one do if there is a 3-4 day break in availabilty of electricity? Such as earthquake or other such disaster. Is there anyway to aerate the water? Just wondering.

I dont think we are likely to have an earthquake here in UK, power cuts yes.

We have fairly regular earthquakes in the UK, there have been about 10 recorded this year, that said they are rarely big enough to cause any damage at all, let alone a power cut for several days.
