Hiya I got a female guppy and when got her home thought she was pregnant.
That was aprox 4 weeks ago.
She has a large gravid spot and her body is gettign bigger and bigger.
She is swimming about and eating but she quite often spits the food back out the past couple days.
The temp in my tank is 27/28 should I increase the temp or just keep waiting.
 
I would say 27/28 is just perfect ..
and by the sounds of it shes going to drop anytime :D
They like to have lots of weed cover when they give birth, so when she dissapears for a while things will probably happen and the first you will know is fry swimming around :)
 
Try a teaspoon of epsons salt..it sedates the fish, relaxing them so they will give birth..otherwise she might hold them and die.
