Provided you are keeping to the rules. Tanks should not need to be oxygenated any more than the simple and proper use of a cycled filter and healthy growing plants can provide. The basic rules for keeping fish successfully are. :- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank need at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you fail to observe and comply with any of the above rules I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and they will live vastly shortened lifespans.

Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis in all plants. So if you have water plants growing in the tank they will be adding oxygen to the water.

How long koi fish live with out oxygen in fish tank?

Without oxygen or without filtration? Without filtration, they will survive by staying at the top of the tank gulping air until they have what they need to go about their swimming. That would take a heavy toll on their rest, and make their lives very uncomfortable. No oxygen, and they'd do the same for a short while, and then try to jump out of the and tank until they chock to death one way or the other after about 30 minutes.
