If you get like a 1-3" fish you could have it in there for about 6 months? Thats a guesstimate but a 46g wont hold the fish for long. You would need to upgrade to atleast a 250g tank so unless you want to buy one, or put it in a pond. Those are 2 options. Please dont consider releasing it into the wild. Not only could it transfer a non-native parisite or disease, the fish would most likely get killed easily because it has been adapted to tank life.
I would get at least a 75 gallon if you are going to get a small bass. That should be enough for a year or two.
A pumpkinseed will work, they stay fairly small (6-8" is about normal, but freaks happen.), but like any centrarchid can be pretty agressive. A bluegill is even nastier, and grows larger that 8". People, do your homework.
