Plz Help!

[Guppy P]

Ok, so two days ago I went out and got four guppies...

Two males: Hot Wheels and Guac (like guaccamole! pssht! cuz it sounds awesome!)
Two females: Glimmer and Cinderella

I absolutely KNOW Cinderella is due any day with little fishies now because I can see their tiny eyes, but I'm not quite sure about Glimmer. She's been sitting alone in a cave for a while, and comes out occasionally to eat or socialize, but that's about it. The male fish don't seem as interested in Glimmer as they are in Cinderella.

I CAN see that Glimmer is pregnant too, though. Instead of her gravid patch being a dark black like Cinderella's though, it is a light orange. I know that's a stage in development but I guess I'm just not so sure about her behavior...

Please let me know if anyone can help me out... They all seem healthy right now, but they are my first guppies so I'm not quite positive on what to expect from them. If you've got any cool, helpful hints, advice, or just plain anything, please reply and let me know!!!

THANKS!!!

i think 20-30 can be expected (if i remember from my lot)

You should proberly isolate the female thats about to drop if you can as the males will eat the fry. also try to increase the ratio of females to males if you can to at least 2/3 females to every male!
