Well, water for a start. If you don't have that, you're kind of screwed. But it all depends on the kind of fish. There are 4 main types of fish: coldwater, tropical, saltwater and marine. A filter is important as well. It removes impurities in the water and little bits of food as well. A heater is needed for tropical fish as they're used to much warmer water.
Food would also be a good thing to have! Just get normal fish flakes, not the tablets. Some oxygen stones would be useful, but they're not necessary. A 10% water change is a good thing to do every week as well; it just freshens up the aquarium. You can change the water with a hand siphon; your local pet shop might have one. A net is used for moving the fish into a different container whilst you clean the aquarium.
You should also consider a hell of a lot of water treatments as well, because fish can get lots of diseases. Anti-fungus, Anti-fin and tail rot, anchorworm treatment etc. are just some I can think of off the top of my head. A water conditioner is a good purchase as well, to get rid of the chlorine and chloramine as well. WATER TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL! CHLORAMINE IS DEADLY TO FISH
