I keep a shoal of shiners in my FRT tanks as dithers and snacks for the turts. I replenish the numbers every once in a while but, some of the shiners have lasted long enough to breed in the turtle caves. I keep finding fry when I'm doing tank cleaning.
Fish Usually Not Kept As Pets?

I have a white catfish(amerius catus) which I don't think very many people have due to their somewhat limited range. I like it...it acts more like a channel catfish than anything but it has big blue eyes.
I also have a feeder goldfish that stood out and is now the resident pet goldfish.

Sorry kinda forgot about this thread! No they are not easy, but can be done. I have kept goldens, tigers, and rainbows, they are very vulnerable to stress during transportation, but once in the aquarium are fairly easy.
I have a creek chub tank. They are cool and will eat anything

here are some. idk know if they are uncommonly kept or whatever but i have yet to see many people with them. I had a crawfish I bought at my local grocery store. i bought them as feeders for my largemouth bass but this one was way to monster for him to swallow. I have kept green banded darters both male and female(i think the one in the pic might have been the female rainbow darter but i had green banded females too) but never bred them. the other was a log perch darter i had for a while before my bass ate it. and I also had an awesome looking orange spotted sunfish for awhile. all of these were great fish while they lasted but most ended up getting eaten by my largemouth bass eventually.
