Those are livebearers, not goldfish. I'm guessing either platys or swordtails.

I feel like I should point out that your bowl is filthy. Fish do not have umbilical cords (except perhaps mosquito fish), you are actually looking at poo. I'm hazarding a guess that the cloudy water is just amonia buildup from feeding them too much or not doing water changes.

And I think that baby in step 2 is dead; they're not really supposed to lie on their sides like that.

every fish breeds differently and eggs hatch and look different so your little guide is pretty usless ....

I think it all depends on the breed of fish a whole lot ;)
