Dont pull out the ones with big stomachs, they wont die. That is actually part of the egg. Its what they feed off as they grow. It will eventually be consumed by the fish and will become free swimming. Just make sure there is plenty of surface motion as to "tumble" them a bit.

Sounds like your fish ave birth a bit prematurely which isn't all that unusual in a breeder net. Remove the one's on the bottom that are dead and the one's that seem to have a large stomach. Those will die soon anyway. The other should be fine though
Congrats and best of luck with them

its very normal. most baby fish die at the first 3 hours of life and the headless ones have probably been cannabalized by the other babys. if you get somemore babys, dont use a breeding net. get anopther tank so that the baby fish can eat the embryos.
