Default deformed discus fry ( photos)

i have been away for a couple of weeks and before i went my pair gave me a batch of baby's
well now they have grown a bit and are around 4-5 weeks i can see they look deformed.
they all have a flat top to their dorsal fin( this should be a rounded shape)
i have over 20 babys that may not ever be good quality to sell or pass on to others.

do you play God! Culling deformed fish to keep fish within our hoby the best they passably can be?

just thought after all the problems we goto to get our fish to breed its not all plane sailing .

often a large batch of fry means large culls/losses ( in the wild only the strong survive!)

enjoy the photos.
Rob.
