That's really cool that she got the fish, even without winning. Nice guy. I had a couple goldfish from those games, and many of them lived nice long lives afterward.

My recommendations are to not overfeed them. Be careful of that. Fish will just keep on eating even when they're not hungry. Secondly, keep the fish tank clean, but avoid using chemicals on it when you clean it. They can harm the fish. (Also, don't clean the tank too often as it can cause problems to the fish's health.)

Although not necessary for a simple goldfish, they often like having the pump to create air bubbles in the water for them. They're much happier with one - though a plain fish bowl will do as well, and won't harm them. (Tropical fish, and fish that require sea water are much more difficult to care for.)

And lastly, don't "tap" or "bang" on the fish bowl on purpose, as it really does upset the fish, and is hard on them. (This is what I've heard, anyway. )

Here's a great site that will give you even more help/advice for the fish.

Another VERY good site for first time fish owners: (just scroll down a little to read about it.)
