How about a Betta, also known as a "Siamese fighting fish"?
They are very hardy, don't require filters, and can live in a very small bowl. Some people even put them in cups but I used to put mine in a 8x8" bowl. Males are very colorful and they will recognize their owners. They will fight with another betta so you only want one. They eat once a day or even less. They'll be happy to see you in the morning when you feed them. Be careful because they can jump. My betta jumped off the mantel and was stepped on. It was sad because he used to get all happy to see me.
Gold fish are easy to take care of but mine seem to die and they're a little boring, imho.
If it's a betta, since, I think they're from Thailand, you could give him an Asian sounding name like Mysin because it's also a fighter.
Good luck!
