Room Temperature (*does not matter as long as you don't throw ice cubes in the tank or heat it up on the stove)
But when you purchase them with the bag containing them, do not immediate throw them into your tank; instead, put the bag with the fishes into the tank (filled) and so they can gradually adjust to the temperature in your tank.
Seriously, people makes this too complicated sometimes. They are fish, really easy to take care of.
I have gold fish and I have never bothered with the temperature, they are healthy and lived more or less to their life expectancy.
Some useful information about tropical fish. Tropical fish include fish found in tropical environments (found close to the equator) around the world, including both saltwater and freshwater species. The term tropical fish refer to only those requiring fresh water. Saltwater tropical fish referred as marine fish but to be accurate Saltwater Fish are truly tropical fish. Tropical fish are imported from there native waters as well as domestically bred. Keeping tropical fish is a great hobby. Fish tanks are a wonderful place to observe a habitat on a smaller scale. Tropical marine fish enjoy their temperature a little bit warmer at 80 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (26C).

No. The temperature variation will kill one or the other. (Too warm for cold water fish, too cold for tropical fish)
Can a guppie live with a goldfish?
A guppie is a tropical fish and should be kept in an aquarium with other tropical fish, a goldfish is kept in a bowl or tank in cold water - the 2 cannot be kept together because of the different in the temperature of the water
Tilapia is a tropical fresh water fish what does this statement mean?

How do you care for a zebra fish?
Zebra Danios should live in a shoal of at least 6 fish, they are tropical (warm water), and should be fed tropical fish foods
Why should the water for tropical fish be 7.0?
The temperature and the pH of the water varies for each different species of fish depending upon where the fish evolved. Fish are regarded as being "Tropical" if they come from the tropics. The temperature range for tropicals is from around 65F for Whitcloud Mountain Minnows up to around 85F for Discus. So, you can see that your question is based on a wrong assumption. The water for Tropical fish should not neccessarily be 70F or pH7.0., and the pH varies from below pH6 for Discus through neutral which is pH7 for most livebearers and up to pH8 for African cichlids.
What pH should the water be in order for tropical fish to survive?
It is better for the fish to be put in water that it was found in.
Can goldfish be kept with tropical fish?
Well, the correct answer is no. But when I kept my tank at room temperature, I had no problems.
What temperature does an aquarium have to be at?
Aquarium water should never be hot; depending on the type of fish you keep, the temperature will vary.Goldfish for example are best in 75F, but a betta prefers 80F. Do plenty of research about the fish you are considering for your tank before going out & buying anything.
Can tropical fish live in cold water?
Whether or not a tropical fish can survive in cloudy water depends on why the water is cloudy. If there has been a spike in ammonia or nitrates, it can be deadly to fish. Tropical species tend to be more sensitive to severe water changes than freshwater fish.
Does a fish need the right temperature of water?
It depends on each type of fish. Certain tropical breeds need their own temperature and pH level. Goldfish are less fussy, however research into your breed of fish and find out what temperature it is best suited at. The usual safe temperature for tropical fish is between 22 - 28 degrees centigrade. However I think cold water fish are more flexible.
