so i have obtained a large tank (somewhere between 230-350L) And I have a filter rated for 1000L/h (i need to test if it works) but i dont have a heater. It includes some stand and I have pots and driftwood. What would be a good coldwater fish to go in here? Thanks,
Best low cost tank fish?

The first fish that comes to mind is Goldfish. You could also do some weather loaches.
What about some sort of catfish? Are there any that live in coldwater?
ah ok. What if I get a heater does that increase my options?
don't some need thick sand? what about a bumblebee catfish?
what?? 3500+ species of catfish and there are NONE that fit in a 90 gallon at room temperature? yes there are.
Madtoms, banjo catfish, hoplos, cories such as imitator/paleatus/brochis species, raphael cats pretty sure, bumblebee cats, and so on fit the bill. My personal favorite out of those is the hoplos, very social, very active, very personable, good enough size to where you'll always see them. Good growth rate if you get small ones, eats just about anything (except live fish ofc)
The only one from this list i can find locally is a bumblebee catfish but the person selling me the tank dropped out so i can't get any now : (
oh yeah you're from australia right? assuming i'm not getting mixed up with someone else
did you consider the gudgeon? (mogurnda genus)
