Yes, depending on how cold your water is.
See my sig file - all my fishy friends have been happy and healthy for a couple of years in a tank that is always around 22oC in temperature.
 
personally i would only atemp to keep fish in coldwater if that what they need, tropical fish i would prefer to keep in heated water, back to the question...goldfish or white cloud mountain minnows

Why would you not want to spend £20 on a heater?
 
i have a tank at work with goldfish and silver-tip tetras and it is cold-water. Yet, my tank at home is heated with silver-tip tetras. Interesting.

Because rosy barbs prefer cooler temperatures?
