Larry,
I don't know about the water temp. for your plants and fish, but all water
has oxygen as it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen: H2O, remember?

Larry is talking about free O2 which fish need to 'breath' otherwise they
drown and to keep this related to plants - plants also can drown at least
their roots can when the soil is water logged the roots die do to a lack of
oxygen and then they rot.
Those plants that live in wet soils if you look at them will have thickened
root dermis that allow the roots to extract oxygen or they have the ability to
draw it down through the vascular system.
So when you grow your seedlings out do not grow them in water soaked soils-
otherwise you will not get good root growth.
Without free - O2: 95 percent of all life on earth would die. We can be
thankful for plants because they are responsible for a large portion of the
free oxygen available on our plant.
so grow plants and save a fish!!!
Paul
