hi labyrinth fish in general does not require air pumps. Betta and a number of gourami falls into this category. However, if given a choice I would still provide an air pump or a filter that would create air bubbles in the water.

If your gf just want a small plastic tank, then go for a betta. Other fish require much more requirements and be difficult to keep.
