I got some new guppies today and some of the females are pregnant.
The one in the pic below looks very near to giving birth but I’m unsure as to how long it will be. I would like to get more experienced keepers advice on this as this is the first time I’ve kept guppies. The others have settled in fine and she's the only one with such black eyes ( I think this means that she's a bit stressed and maybe near to dropping fry) what do you think? She also swims slower than the others and has been hanging around the top of the filter.

watch her grow,until you dont think she can grow any more (until it looks like she has eaten a dice) and then your about there..For the first brood i recomend letting nature take its course and you will then know how big is big enough.Moving her at the wrong time could make her abort and you wont know when is the right time...So watch her this time and either (a.let fry fend for themselves,or if u have angels or other predatory fish then remove them to a breeder box or small tank)
