Some keep the gravid spot all the time, then some will nover show a gravid spot.

Just keep an eye on her and every 28-35 days you should be expecting fry if she get fat.
Some fish will not produce fry after a move for several months, so let us know how she get's on.

To be honest your be lucky the first time, but as soon as she become slightly anti socerial this is a sign that she's close to giving birth.

What you want to aim for is to have the female trapped for a short a period as possible, if you using a net or small breeding trap.
