I went ahead and put her in a small breeding tank with a sponge filter in place. How long is it safe to keep her in there, and was I right to do so?
Here are some photos.
Should I put her in the breeder trap yet? Her stomach looks squared, but she isn't very big yet...
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm new to fish keeping and breeding so this is a great help!

Okay, thanks so much!
Can you get a pic of the anal side?
Her Gravid spot never got dark, which was the main reason I was so confused. Was she maybe just constipated? With a squared stomach?
She gave birth a couple of nights ago, I think. She got really skinny, but I think she ate all of her fry. I've put her back into the community tank.
No, there was no dark area at all. And no, I put her in a tiny breeding tank. (1 gallon, I can't wait to get a bigger one. :/ )
I put a huge, thickly leaved plant in there, but no separation beyond that. And there was a small sponge filter
I have a small tank for my birthing tank with lots and lots of plants I find that the cabomba plant is really good since its fast growing and is usually quite cheap I picked up 3 plants for £6 two went into my birthing tank and one into my main. It offers really good cover since the mothers don't tend to swim through it only the larger gaps at the bottom

Okay, thanks. I just used a fake plant bought from PetSmart.
