A gravid spot means she is pregnant already. The gravid spot is the dark spot where you can see the eyes of the fry through the body of the female.

not really. according to GuppyMommy, the gravid spot is where the fry is formed and created. you'll know that it's pregnant if it gets bigger.. but my female guppies are skinny for ages

I stand corrected. You're right. I guess I always thought it was something that emerges when the fish are pregnant, because I can't see a gravid spot very well on my Platy.
