How far along is this guppy?

[AngelFishGirl]

So, I have this momma guppy I just bought about month ago (already pregnant) and now the gravid spot on her is HUGE
However, she hasn't had babies and the spot has been that big for about a week or two now. I want to keep the babies, so I keep her in the breeding cage as much as possible when not home or asleep, but I want to avoid too much stress.

I'm really sorry for the blur. Can anyone tell me if she's ready for babies or how much bigger the spot will get if she's not?
Thanks!

Hey, just to clarify. You got her a month ago, how do you know she was pregnant already??. They are pregnant for a month. In the second picture she doesn't look pregnant. She looks quite slim. Have you got any other pictures??

Have too agree she really does not look prego, spot looks small and she is not box looking, i would not be putting her in a breeder box

Her gravid spot was rather dark when I got her as well. I did find a mystery fry in my tank. Only survivor of the deadly hunters of my tank (bad angelfish, bad! Those are MY fry to raise!) i guess it could possibly be hers, and now she's thinned but the gravid spot is still dark. How long does it take for the color of it to fade?

And for pictures...
It's really hard to get them
Sorry they're not the greatest

Yeah i'd say it pretty likely that the fry was from the guppy. If it was here first batch or one of the first, she could have only had a few. She will get very obviously larger when she's pregnant.....
