Cold water fish like Goldfish, Orfe, Rudd and some species of catfish. I have left out Koi Carp on purpose because although they are coldwater fish they are also specifically for keeping in large ponds.

Sub-tropical and coldwater fish can live without heaters BUT you must note that just because a tank doesn't have a heater in it, doesn't mean it's coldwater! To have a true cold tank you need to install a chiller, which is far more expensive to buy and run than a measly heater!

Fish from all temperature ranges will be stressed out by temperature fluctuations (such as you having the heating blazing during the winter, and air conditioning during the summer!).

What fish you can keep also depends on your tank size. Goldfish are the most common coldwater fish, they also need very large over-filtered tanks. Smaller fish like White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Zebra Danios need to be in shoals in at least 15-20 gallons or more.

Research fish species very carefully!

Temperate and cold water fish. Minnows and goldfish, for example.

Fun fact, goldfish are not cold water fish. They are temperate; meaning they can handle a wide variety of temperatures

Are fish tank heaters needed?

Typically heaters are needed for tropical fish tanks. However, if you could guarantee the room temperature where the tank is located will be maintained at the needed temperature for your fish, then you don't need a heater. Most tropical tanks need to be maintained at temperatures of 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the types of fish in the tank.
