hi ive noticed my pregnant female guppy keeps lieing on the gravel, she has been very fat for about 2 weeks but still no fry.
its the first time she has done this when she has been pregnant.

will she be giving birth soon?
 
I found this on mod queue in the Fish Index. Moved to Livebearers.
 
They can sometimes slow down a bit before they give birth, but there may be something wrong. Can you describe what she's doing more? Is she gasping? Can she swim right when she wants to? What are your exact water parameters? What other fish?

Sometimes females will lie on the gravel before giving birth, and since she's been fat for 2 weeks she should be pretty close to giving birth. You just want to make sure nothing is wrong first. I'd keep a close eye on her. :)
