If you aren't looking for much work, you could do a betta and some snails/shrimp. Bettas, though, would need a heated tank. They sell aquarium heaters at pet stores, just get one rated for a 10 gallon.

I kept a betta fish for 4 years while in college, and is now living with a friend of mine. I was hoping for something different
Oh, and I don't mind changing the water and that sort of stuff. I guess what I mean is that I would prefer a hardy fish that can live off of the flakes food and not require a whole lot of specialized care.
Do
all fish need a heater? my betta fish was held at room temperature the 4years I had him
