I won these two beautifuls at a carnival yesterday and I’ve got a few questions.

I’ve also never owned fish before so I’d appreciate any advice on keeping them healthy and happy and whatnot.

First of all, what breed are they? Likely a common goldfish, I presume?
Secondly, what gender do we think they are? The big one (Psych) keeps gently swimming around and chasing the little one (Phil) so I believe they’re flirting. At least, Psych is trying to. But homosexuality runs in nature, and also my family, so I would not be surprised if they are same sex.
Thirdly, are they flirting? If so, what happens when one of them lays two hundred eggs I have no room for?
Fourth, do they absolutely require a filter? I figure if I’m regularly cleaning the tank they won’t need an automatic filter. I also don’t want them getting sucked up.

Here they are. Thank you! (Yes, I play Tic-Tac-Toe with them. They need enrichment.)

Rehoming Psych.

Got these beauties yesterday. Have a few questions.
