The fish in the middle will probably give birth in the next few days.

Make sure there are lots of plants in the tank.
Feed the adults well.
Don't catch or move the female because you can harm her.

Great thanks for your help! Do you think the yellow one hiding by the heater is close? I ask because she’s hiding a lot and staying away!
Thank you

The fish with the yellow tail in the left picture looks pretty close to dropping too.

When my guppies first started having fry it was 3-4 or so. I had 7 females and 1 male. In about 3-4 months I had 80-90 fry swimming around. They did not seem to eat the fry but like @Colin_T said "feed them well" which I did. They can be like rabbits.

Ahh okay cool thank you, ones just had her fry I can see 15, could be more hiding but not sure. I’m not sure what one it was either lol, they all seem fat still and have the black spot. is there a way off telling? Or is she likely to drop more later? hopefully they will all survive. Will the fry be okay in the main tank you recon then? Thanks

Also to feed them well how many time would you recommend a day? Thanks sorry new to this appreciate the help

Mine seem to drop a few and then a few more later. I had a heavely planted tank with plenty of anacharis to hide in so it was hard to tell. When I finally moved them to another tank I lost count there was so many.15 fry is a good drop, she must feel safe and relaxed

I crushed up fish flake food like to a dust and they liked it. I would feed twice a day at first but as the numbers increased went to 3 times a day.
