How long to wait.

I noticed that last night when i went to my LFS to get more guppies, that one of them looks like she could already be pregnant. They have the males and females separated, but I still think she could be. She is a grey-ish black guppy, but her belly is quite round. It's not real round, but it's definitely rounder then most others in my tank. Also, she does have a round black spot on the back of her belly, where the fish eyes would be, but then again I notice this on the other female of her same color.

I will get some pics up after work, but if she is pregnant, how long should I wait before placing her into my breeder box.

Oh, and this isn't one that hangs on the back of the tank.. this is one that sits inside the tank so I do not think it will cause to much stress for me to move her in there.

Thanks again everyone!!!!!

Is that giant moss ball live? Where in the world did you find one that big?

No it was not that big when I first got it. When I first got the moss it was small.. barely enough for a 2.5 (where it first started it's life). As it grew, i moved a portion of it to my 55, and it took off! It's still growing too!

I should have a pic of my guppies up in 1 sec

Its a Guppy so it probably is pregnant! But from that photo it doesn't look like having babies anytime soon. Can you post any others?

I'll try to get some in a sec. But just so I know, how long does it usually take before they give birth? Like.. when should I start thinking about placing her inside the breeder?
