You need to blow the air onto the surface.

As for fish, higher temp increases their need for oxygen (due to 
faster rate of metabolism, I think) so that you need higher oxygen 
content in water. Different fishes adopt differently to that, for 
example goldfish have trouble already with moderately high temps.
