when will my guppy pop ?

Question
hey meggana... i was just curious if there is a way to tell when a pregnant guppy is about to give birth ?   a few days ago i put her in the seprate floating tank that protects the fry from being eaten by mom and other fish.   she's really large and i thought she would give birth anyday but it hasn't happened.  i don't want to keep her in there and stressing her out if she's not close.

she's a beautiful fish, dark blue body and solid white tail.  the male died not long after i bought the pair, but tankfully she's pregnant !

do you have a webpage ?  i'd love to look at what you have, Thanks for your time !!!

Answer
hello roger iam pretty sure she is due any day now! the way you can tell they are pregnant they have very round little bellies and have slite dots on them...(its hard to see)
     So, what do you check for? Her "gravid spot" will grow large and darken  as the fertilized eggs develop. Closer to delivery time, the spot will be nearly black.     Some say they are even able to see the developed babies within the gravid spot, but I can't say I have seen this.
Often times, when delivery is near, the female will be having difficulties swimming due the weight of the developing fry. I don't always notice this problem, but it should be something you watch for on a daily basis.
The female will try to find a hiding place, being it behind plants in the tank or often times, my females hang out near the heater. They just seem to want to be left alone for delivery time and don't want to be bothered especially by the frisky males.
The most noticeable thing the females do which I spot immediately, is they refuse to eat. This is MY indication the females will be delivering soon. If you watch them daily at feeding times, you should be able to notice which fish isn't eating. Then you know the babies will soon be delivered. Although some females may take in food, which appears they are eating, but keep watching to be certain they don't spit the food out of their mouths. i hope this helps! iam sorry i dont have a web-site but hopfully in the futere i will have one. have fun and good luck on the babies...and if you need any more help feel free to ask:)
