It could just be the tail type. Could be a spear, spade, or pin tail.
Yes your probably right because there's about 7 really big healthy looking females and the ones with the speared tales are slightly smaller, I've took them to the aquarium shop to be re homed I'm not breeding anymore, I've done once that's enough for me
 
It looks to me like all the fins are down, or 'clamped'. This is normally a sign of disease and is often seen in livebearers - it can also be a sign of stress through unsuitable water conditions. It is also often associated with 'shimmying', where the fish rocks back and forth and occasionally dashes forward... have you seen any of that behaviour?

Are they not large enough to release from that breeding trap? They look a decent size. Those traps can be stressful if the fish are kept long term.
