Do guppies lose their gravid black spot before giving birth?
No, what you are actually seeing when looking at the gravid spot is the eggs inside the mother fish. The gravid spot does not go away until the mother has given birth to her young. The spot will get very dark before the fry are born, because they will begin to hatch out of their eggs before the birth.

The gravid spot on a guppy is not always a 100% determination of pregnancy as the colours can vary. Quite often, when they are ready to give birth, the gravid spot becomes quite dark.
MHow much babys do guppies have?
Anywhere from between 4-60. Usually the the size of the female's stomach and gravid spot will give you an estimate. If it has been a month and the gravid spot is still somewhat small you can estimate a low amount of fry (guppy babies). If the stomach is looking like it is about to burst, you can estimate a ton of babies. Hope this helps. :)
Do mollies have a black spot when pregnant?
I believe some, and the spot you're referring to is a gravid spot.Mollies, unlike guppies, don't have as much transparency to their bodies as guppies do and might not show a gravid spot (but they do have them all the same).Mollies plump up a lot when pregnant as well, it will defiantly be noticeable.You can also check the sex of the fish as well; if the anal fin (the one at the bottom of their bodies) is long, "pointed" and usually kept rolled up close to their bodies, it's a male, if the anal fin is rounded and "fan-shaped", it's a female.
