It's always hard to say with other people's fish, because I don't know how fat they usually get, or how many fry they usually have - however, I would say within a week? Sometimes not eating can be a sign of labor coming soon. How long has she not had an appetite?

I know where you live
I would give her 2 maybe 3 days tops. Put her in a birthing tank stat. Also try brine shrimp( frozen and if that dosent work try tubifex, freeze dried).
she's been of her food since last night thats when i moved her, she wont take anything no flakes,bloodworms live or frozen and no brine shrimp frozen, i cant get any tubifex where i live. roll on summer then my live foods will be back lol got 6 watter buts out side waiting for them lol, i tryed to see if there are any eye balls but she is to black in her gravid spot to see anything

The intense black means they are on their way! The black is theire eyeballs and if they are apart from eachother that means there is more room to grow in the womb before birth.

The black is the not their eyeball's, as u can some times see eye's looking out. It's a lineing, of some sort, in dead guppies this lineing can be removed, as i did it at college, I dont know what it is or whats it for, but in some fish they have it only short periods, but other have it all the time.
Also I'll give your female 10 days but i would say she's on her way that for sure

I think 10 days is too long. Lets see...since that photo was taken yesterday I'd say......2 days, maybe 3

It could be anytime now. Livebearers don't necessarily have a consistent gestation period. Whenever she is comfortable, she will give birth. Make sure you're tank is heavily planted and your water is warm.
