Question:

does aquarium pump go in water?

Answer:

Yes! it would not work otherwise.
If you mean an air pump, no, it doesn't go in the water.
NO the air stone is connected by airline tubing. The airstone should be in the water, the pump out.
If you mean an air pump, No. The air pump should be out of the water preferably above the fish tank, but below the fish tank is fine as long as you have a check valve connected to the airline tubing, which prevents water from entering and damaging the air pump.
It depends on what pump you have. If it is an air pump, no, it does not go in the water. If it is a submersible water pump, yes it does go in the water. Powerheads are one type of submersible water pumps. If it is an external or in-line water pump, no it does not go in the water. Most hang on back filters the pump does not go in the water, but Aqueon is one where it is designed to have the pump in the water. So, what pump/filter do you have?
