Default Fry development

Hi,

My goldfish/comet/shubunkin fry hatched a month ago and I'm wondering
about their growth.

About 10 or so are at least 4x bigger than the rest. Some are still very
small, maybe 0.5cm.

The smaller ones seem to have very long proportions and look more like a
head tapering off to the tail - no shape for the belly.

The larger ones are starting to show a hint of colour, some blue, some
orange. A couple of them are showing real comet style tail fins.

Is the slow development of the smaller ones normal. I keep holding off
on culling as the smaller ones are just too small for me to tell at the
moment.

Any advice, opinions, comments welcome.

TIA
