This isn't my first pregnancy but I bougt this female knowing she was pregnant and she's huge and has squared off or it looks like it. When shall I expect the new fry?
All my others did it while I was gone for the day. I put her in the trap to get a clear picture of her. I have a sep tank for her.

I'd say less than a week, she doesn't look fully squared off yet. But you never know I've had gups that dropped without looking even remotely squared :)
Best of luck with the new fry!
 
The breeder box can stress the guppy which can lead to stress and abortion! I say let it do it naturally and net the fry later or place more cover in the tank!
 
Yeah I had 3 pregnant guppies none had the fry though. But now I have this one! She looks so much bigger then my other too I'm so excited! :)
 
I know. I've taken her out I just couldn't get a clear picture to upload since I'm using my phone and put her in for a second to get a pic.
 
Its really cool to watch the live birth. Make sure she's in a place where the bigger fish can't eat the babies. Couple years ago my eel ate all of mine.
