Are there any fish other than Goldifsh, Danios, WCMM that will thrive without a heater?

Also, i would mean alot if they were common fish (as in easily found)

EDIT:

here is a list that i read online, let me know if some of these are possibilities:

Barbs - Several readily available species of Barbs are tolerant of temperatures into the mid sixties, or even lower. All are easy to care for, and are suitable for a community aquarium. They include: the Gold Barb (Barbus schuberti), the Green Barb (Barbus schuberti), the Rosy Barb (Barbus conchonius), and the Two Spot Barb (Barbus ticto).

Bloodfin Tetra - Both the standard Bloodfin (Aphyocharax anisitsi), and the False Bloodfin (Aphyocharax dentatus) .

Buenos Aires Tetra (Hemigrammus caudovittatus) - Croaking Tetra (Coelurichthys microlepis) -

Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) - Hillstream Loaches - Native Fish -

Pearl Danio (Brachydanio albolineatus) -

Weather Loach (Misgurnus angullicaudatus) -

Wimple (Myxocyprinus asiaticus) -

White Cloud Mountain Minnow (Tanichtys albonubes) -

Zebra Danio (Brachydanio rerio)

Thank You!!!

I know weather loaches can... They're super cool, I would get those. And I think american flag fish? Those are really pretty.

Tony G.

are those common?can they be found in most LFS´s?

Mmm, I think my LFS has the loach, but I'm not sure how widespread the flagfish is.

iloveengl

Tony, I know that most livebearers do fine in cooler temps, but I was thinking you wanted to stay away from them.... Platies would be a good option, imo. They're really sturdy little fish (more so than gups) and they don't get too large. I like their personalities. If you go with a livebearer I'd recommend the plats over gups or mollies.

hmmm.. i was actually thinking of getting a few balloon mollies... they would look fab in my tank! thanks ilove!
