Are you planning on keeping the fry? She looks ready to pop (though I've never kept livebearers) so if you intend to keep the fry, pop her in a breeder net now I'd suggest.

Someone who knows more will get back to you pretty soon.

kk thanks and yes i want to keep the fry :D
 
She does look close but I'm not sure close enough to pop into a breeder. Since you only want her to be in the breeder as much as 48 hr, it is important to wait until the last possible time. I would keep an eye on her and move her when she actually starts to deliver. I personally don't use breeders because I have my breeding fish in heavily planted tanks and I'm willing to accept some fry losses.
 
I would try her in the trap for 48 hours max, she does look ready so trying wont harm.

Put her in the trap and turn the tank lights out to minimize the stress, giv her little bit off food and let her settle :)
