The size of the aquarium and the number of fish living in the aquarium determine the amount of oxygen that is needed. The temperature of the water also plays an important role to determine oxygen needs of fish. If the water is above 80 degrees, the need for oxygen increases.

Anything living, or dead, in the tank requires oxygen. Dead fish, dead snails, dead plants require oxygen to breakdown. This depeletes the oxygen level same as living fish, algae, live rock, live sand, bacteria and so on.

The temperature is another factor: the colder the water is, the more oxygen it can hold, so increasing the temperature of the water decreases available oxygen.
