Pity you have no picture, they could be Crucian Carp, do a Google search and see if that is what they are.

This has got me wondering myself, does it look like a predator type of fish or if you does it resemble a certain type of fish that you know?

I read there are Koi fish bread in Japan that are red, does it look like a Carp type body?

Where did the friend get them from, may be they are tropical even though you have them in coldwater?
