If she has been in a tank with a male she will be pregnant. Her tummy will be large and there will be a dark spot just in front of her ventral fin which will get larger as she nears parturition.

You will see a black dot on their belly. They will also start to slow down and twitch when they are ready to give birth. This might be a time to separate her from the other fish so her fry don't get eaten.

What is unique about the guppy?

Their tails. Guppies have amazing tails. The males have bigger and brighter tails whereas the females have smaller and less bright tails. You can get all types of guppy babies. The best thing is you can mix and match the guppys too. If you have a leopard guppy and an orange guppy and they breed, the babies tail looks like an explosion of yellow and orange in a leopard tail.
