If she is 3 months of age or older, fertile, and has been with fertile sexually mature males then she is likely 'prego'. The gravid spot as well as swelling of the belly are other signs. When she gets close to dropping she'll probably hang out on the surface or at the VERY bottom of the tank 'flapping' her pectoral fins quickly as well as appearing to hyperventilate. She'll also begin to get square-shaped on the belly about 2 days before dropping fry.

That is from my experience in the fishhouse.
