Default Fountain fresh water tank pump

In my 88 fountain I have a 3-5 gallon tank that used to have a 12v pump threaded into the side of it. I since removed it and misplaced it. It was small, maybe 3" in length and 1 1/2" high. Had about a 1/2" or so barb on the top to accept the clear hose to the sink. Does anyone have any idea as to what pump used to go in there? I'd like to have a working system again. Thanks

This is exactly what I need, but in the states. Any ideas where to get one?

when mine failed, I threaded in a hose barb and then ran a tiny pump sitting on the floor beside the tank. It was long ago and I do not have records of what I got, something from west marine

Notice it is threaded on the suction side of the pump, but I don't think it fit the threads of the tank, so I just used proper hose barb and short piece of hose. No one can see it so as long as it works that is all that matters.
