Well, if she just got impregnanted, it'll be a month or so, so there's no need to move her now. If she looks pretty fat already, you can. How big is the tank though?

 

[Genesis]

which?

the tank i will moving her to (in a month) = 10 gals
the tank they are in now = 50 gals

Okay, then yes, I'd wait a bit to move her into the 10 gallon. It's pretty unlikely the male just impregnated her, considering how long they store sperm for, so it might be a little sooner. Has she given birth before, so you know what signs to look for?

With a 10g tank, it's not too bad if you mis-judge, and put them in early, because it's big enough not to stress them out. So don't be really worried about getting it down to the day, or anything.

none have given birth before
she is pretty slim at the mo, whereas the other female is pretty fat!
could she be already prego when i bought her? (2 weeks ago)

I had a female guppy that had babies the next day after I bought her.
