Yep, to be honest that was my thought also, but maybe he is wrong about
what size they are or wrote it wrong.
I have seen little feeder GF which were pretty small/young, I keep fancy
GF but I got four regular GF from Luke's school at the end of the school
year they did not know what to do with them over summer vacation so I took
them, the school got them in April, and these guys got pretty big and its
only been a few months now. I was surprised they are very pretty, bright
red/white.
lets see if he replies and ask him to verify that they are really that
size. platies and GF look very different ask him to look up a pic on
google.

For the sake of the fish I hope they're platys and not GF. Healthy goldfish
that are well fed can easily grow 1/2" to 3/4" a month. I hear and see
advice online and in the shops where feeding GF once a day is recommended.
GF are not predatory fish, they're browsers or grazers and nibble all day
long. For proper growth they not only need space and clean water but
several meals a day, with variety. To put a pinch of flakes in their tank
once a day isn't going to get it. For example today my GF got Ichabon
pellets for brunch, Shrimp pellets for supper and a slice of fresh orange
around 9 PM.
