I cant say I know how old they are! I rescued one from a fair (the poor guy was in about a cm of water in the hot sun
Ok, can't age him really, may be already stunted but a bigger tank may save the day.

then the other two from PAH. Theyre about 3-4" including their tails, so however old that makes them I suppose?
Ignore tails. How long have you had them.
If at 3 months or so from housing as babies which is usual, they should already be getting uber chunky by now.

Why is it that goldfish, even though they're teeny now, need so much more space compared to a same size fish, such as ottos or loachs or (baby) plecs?
Firstly, different temp, different water quality.
- Ottos only grow to 5cm, the fish you now have by comparison grow to over a foot long or more. Trop so not usually housed with goldfish.
- Loach (what kind) Clowns need a 6 foot tank min for example
- Common plecs - 6 foot too
Fish in shops are just babies.....You Need to be able to keep them long term.
