Yes, keep that in mind as you will most likely have to cull the batches of fry over time since there will be inbreeding. I had four guppies (2 males and 2 females) explode to about ~20 males, ~9 females and countless (100+) fry. You will either need to find a way to separate the males and females or find a natural predator to keep the population down. For me a large Koi Angelfish made quick work of any fry.
I included a picture, as promised, of the gravid spot on a guppy. It will turn black right before she is about to drop. As said by another poster, the black you are seeing is actually the babies' eyes.
