she looks as though she has just become pregnant, she is not that fat, keep an eye on her and when she looks like shes going to explode, or starts to square off then put her in the breeding net

My Other GuppY Has tarted To Stay At The Top
And The Male Guppy Has Started To Harras It :(
 
I think one thing to remember is they are pretty much always going to have a gravid spot, so you can't go by that when trying to judge about fry. However, if you can start to see little eyes in there, then she is getting pretty close. I agree that the one pictured has a ways to go before she will drop, probably at least a couple weeks. An exception would be if she is a fairly young female, in which case they usually don't get too fat or have too many fry for their first few pregnancies.

Male Guppies usually kind of harass the females, just because they are so pushy. Just make sure you have at least 2-3 females per male, and make sure the females have some places to hide to get away. Even some rock formations, wood, plants, anything where they can find cover is good. If this male is relentless on just one of the females, you might want to move her to another tank if that is an option. If she gets too stressed out, this can be detrimental to her pregnancy and she might drop early or something similar. :)
