I’d keep the temps around 80degrees. Once ur ready to release into the pond then slowly start lower the temps closer toward the pond temps. I assume it’s colder there unless ur heating the pond.

If you'd like to grow them quickly, then I agree with what kno4te said. In my experience they will still grow fairly quickly at room temperature (68-72F), especially if you feed them live foods.
