Abstrakt:	The article presents a study on the reciprocal influence of copper and temperature on fathead minnows' survival. The study subjects fathead minnows in acclimation of 5, 12, 22, and 32° Celsius (C) and were fed with standard cupric sulfate (CuSO4.5 water H2O) concentrations. Result shows partial death at all acclimations, but only at 12° Celsius (C) is observed to have 100% kill. It also suggests temperature as contributing factor of copper toxicity to fish.
