Hiya, Im new on here and new to tropical fish, i got few fish on Saturday to add to my original 3 guppies. I got 2 black mollies and one gave birth the night i got it and so i have around 30 little ones, which i have put into another tank. I also got 2 blue diamond guppies, on looking around this forum i think one maybe pregnant?? I have been watching her today and she seems to be trying to stay away from the other guppies and swimming a little deeper, also if any of the others go near her she is pushing them away? she is more chuncky than the others and i think she has a gravel patch (begginer here tho, so may not be). I have attached a pic, hopefully...lol sorry if its rubbish.

If she is pregnant should i move her into the tank with the black mollie fry? i also have a breeding trap. Im unsure of what to do. I also have all these black mollies that i aint sure what to do with once they are bigger??? My community tank isnt big enough to hold them :-(

She's got a fair way to go yet! Wait until she is enormous and the bottom of her belly is flat and looks a sort od box shape, then she is very close to giving birth.
 
thanks for that duck n dive. How long are they pregnant for? I shall keep a close eye on her.
 
The total time for a guppy is usually about 4 weeks. They can be a bit more or less time depending on tank temperatures but 4 weeks is about average. Judging by your one picture, I would guess she is halfway there or a little more.
