Probably catfish.
I have some corydoras and the fuckers are tough as hell.

Depends where do you live - I doubt a paradise fish would survive winter in the pond in the middle of Canada, while a goldfish would find pond in the middle of Texas too hot in the summer time.
But generaly goldfish and koi are very resillent. Goldfish are good in aquariums too, if you provide at least 20 g for each (more for bigger types of goldfish).

White Cloud Minnows.
They dsont even require a heater as they are cold water fish.

I'm afraid it would get mad when it would ask me to suck its dick.

Really, goldfish are resillient?

How much air or filtering do you usually put for them? What's the smallest tank you'd recommend for one?

Just an FYI, those common "feeder" goldfish that cost 35 cents each can get up to 1ft long.

Definitely catfish. We kept a few back in Canada, while fishing at a small lake/pond. Even when disemboweled, they can flop around on a hot frying pan (those that were chosen for food of course). The only downside is that they make the water dirty very fast (visually unpleasant, but they'll live).

That same lake had another fish that was probably some variant of pumpkinseed (pic). It was far more aesthetically pleasing, and pretty strong too.

None of our goldfish ever lived beyond 3 months. Maybe we phail too much.

Eel.
chop their heads off and they still try to escape.
They wander over land if they must.
They live in salt- as well as sweetwater.

Comet goldfish (the cheap 25 cent ones) are definitely one of the hardiest fish, but they are also one of the most unpredictable because they come from a filthy environment full of hundreds of fish. I've had the best luck with darker golden and gold/black individuals (I've never had a white comet live more than a few months). Two or three comets can live comfortably in a 10 gallon for a good while, and for a pond, at least one or two dozen (you may lose a lot to natural causes/predation, but the ones that live will be the hardy ones). They do shit a lot though, so it's best to invest in an ammonia testing kit.

For a tank, if you don't mind just having one fish in a tank, invest in a small heater and buy a betta fish with live plants. I've never had a betta die on me and I found it rewarding to have such a beautiful fish in a large tank with aqautic plants, I think it rivals any community tank in looks.
