It’s gravid, yes. Looks a young one so could drop fry quite soon... Do you have bushy plants for her and the fry to hide in?

Welcome to the forum. :)
She's very pretty and does look as though she's starting to "square-up" ready for a fry drop....

You’d be amazed how well fry can hide, and guppy fry tend to be very small so you may find a few more kicking about.
If you can float the tub in the tank so it doesn’t drop in temp too much, just make sure its a food safe container. You might also have to aerate it, just gently rippling the surface should help.
