In a huge, planted tank i would say there is a slight (extremely slight) chance. In a pond, easy.
Someone in the home probably fed them without her knowing.

YES.....Actually you can get a tank running with just 1 or 2 fish and get an eco system going.Especially if you have live plants in the aquarium. You would also need air and a tank of at least 10 gallons. The tank size is important cause of evaporation.

I went on vacation for five weeks and had someone who was suppose feed the fish and she forgot. My dad got back and thought the fish was dead because the tank was so covered with algee that he couldn't see in it. So he just let the tank sit. A couple months later he when to clean the tank and found the gold fish a lot bigger and seemingly happy. We think it was living off the algee that was in the tank. I don' t think this happens a lot but every once in a while it does.

Was there one big tough goldfish left swimming around -- and a bunch of goldfish skeletons at the bottom of the tank?

only if they were in a pond setting but not in a tank they will need feed to survive in the tank. I have goldfish before and they will only live with food and care.

Highly doubtful. The contaminated water alone would kill the goldfish in much less than a year.

That cant be true. Some one either fed the fish for her or the tank was dirty and the fish lived off of the algea.

Not in an aquarium. Maybe in a pond where there would be food items like bugs, tadpoles, smaller fish.

No way,a fish can only go without food for two weeks.

It is possible if she had one heck of a good automated feeder, and only had to say FILL it once ha ha ha....
they could not survive only been fed once in a year ha ha ha...
Maybe her parents fed them for her.
