The typical pregnancy period for guppies is more or less 30 days. Based on how long she has been pregnant you can base that off 30 days and get a rough estimate. Make sure she is in a stress free environment, I have heard of them dropping prematurely due to stress. The opposite can also happen where she holds them till she feels safe.

I have stress coat in the tank and somepeople say if you have your tank
Temperture at 27 it makes them drop the fry faster.

IMO she has a week at least before dropping fry.
She will look "squared off" in the front like a box usually.

My guppies are usually so big that its really hard to tell if they are squared. I have noticed that their gravid spot will go from black to a lighter color a day or two before thay drop.

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!
