Brhino, you take more care than most professional breeders. Your set up is fine. Its more that with greater #s you will see more defects. The wild will weed those out.. In a tank protected by the likes of you would make a one eyed mouthless fish eat... how i dont wana know but
FW: 1 45gal, 1 40gal, 3 10gal, 3 30gal all community tanks of different species
Sw: 1 55gal, 1 30gal show, 1 29gal show, 1 20gal and 2 10's

I agree. Try adding some new stock, or try to pinpoint which fish are producing the abnormal fry and remove them from the equation.

From my experience, damaged danios can come from netting the fry to move to larger tanks as the fish grow. They are fragile and smacking one with a net frame can cause damage you can't see.
