I know goldfish, koi, minnows, and alligator gars can survive freezing water. What other fish can survive cold water?
 
Can you be more specific? There are hundreds of species in North America and Eurasia that thrive in cold water conditions.

...............you'll need a very big tank for these guys

I wonder which of the fish farms in Florida sells them XD. I see a fishing trip in the future for people wanting one of these guys, gonna need a big plastic bag for shipping though, double bag just to be safe :).

define cold. and if it's freezing, then no fresh water fish I know of can survive freezing. there are some salt water species that can survive being frozen in a block of ice because they have proteins that keep them from freezing because the water they live in is below the freezing point..
