What battery would I use to run a 12V DC fan motor that has an input current of 6 amps?

That's a large amount of current for a battery to use. You may want to purchase a 12V marine battery or 12V deep-cycle car battery. Or you can use a car battery charger with a 6amp minimum output. The amperage rating for your motor is a minimum requirement. For your power source, use the highest amperage rating you can find. Whether you use a 10 amp battery or a 10 million amp battery, it [the motor] will only draw 6 amps. The voltage is a different story. Use only 12 volts DC.
