Sometimes its hard to tell a young fish from a stunted fish but I would say from their color development and eye size and shape they appear to be stunted, some more than others. Just IMO, see what others say.

I think they are stunted. They are about two inch and fish that size are normally pretty dull/bland but your are showing color, the eyes on most of them are way too big for the body size and body is football shape.

Just take them as your learning experience. With good care even some stunted fish will come around but not to their full potential. Give them good water and food and see where they are in few months time.

I think were losing something in translation.They can become stunted in a nutshell from,not enough feedings,wrong type of foods,not enough water changes,not enough room to grow.Now mix those up,and you end up with many variables.

+1 and illness. If fry become ill at any point in their early growth, it can impact their overall development.
