Fair to assume the feed training occured in climate control or warm region (Feb - June)?

Feed training was done in in Arkansas with flow thru well water. I honestly don't know what the water temp was, but I do know that when I pick up fish the well water temp is 63°F. Now will the water temp in the tanks be warmer? Maybe. Lonoke, Arkansas area. The hatching, feed training and holding tanks are under a roof, but it has no sides on it and it can get early morning sun. (until around 8-9 am.)
