Yes, looks like 1 to 2 weeks preg. From experience, expect ~20 fry

How long do you think it will be before she has fry? I just got her today from petsmart but unread where they sometimes come pregnant from the store

Also should I put her by herself in the mesh breeder with plants in it or just leave her Alone

Just leave her be and let her do her thing. Provide floating plants fake or not for the fry to take cover once released. She will release them anywhere from a week to 3 weeks from now but if you stress her out she can abort them so just be paitent

Okay I have plants in there so they can go in when I was younger I had about a 50 gallon tank and had fake grass all in the bottom and I started out with 1 female guppy and 1 male and within a week there was over 60 guppies in my tank but they also had all the grass to hide in instead of the plants

There you go. Same concept. They will be released and immediatly take cover
