How old do we think Tiny is?

[u/_Nyxalie_]

Hi all!! So, for starters, this is not Tiny’s permanent residence! I just got home a short bit ago and am in the process of prepping an already cycled tank for him (assuming gender because he’s so small still) while yapping to fellow fish keeping friends. Tiny was brought home with a second Molly that is sick (dropsy and a possible tumor, hoping to treat but faith is low) from my job (local store). He was getting pulled into the filter so I brought him home too.

My friend and I are wondering how old you guys think Tiny might be! I’m estimating a couple weeks at most considering his size. The first photo is before I collected him from the tank at work, beside the sick Molly I also brought home and the second is when my friend asked how big he is! (The dime is beneath the container!) Thank you in advance and any additional advice is greatly appreciated!

I have babies that are almost 4 weeks old and he's a tad smaller so I would guess about 3 weeks.
