my female guppy is very preg. her back is bowing and she is very round, the past few days her movement has been very slow, and she has been resting near the top of the tank on the plants, I have her in a gallon tank to her self, many plants, and places for the young to hide, so how can I tell, or what are the tell tell signs in her body, and behaviour?

Sounds like she could go at any moment. You can look for signs of leakage that looks like milky discharge. Or just watch he behaviour. When she gets real still in one place and tries to stay out of sight, then she will probally have them. Turn out the light for a bit. Fish don't like to have their baby's in the light, they like to hide to keep them out of danger. You also have to watch out for her possibly eating them right after they are born, depending on what kind of fish she is. You may want to call the pet store to see if her breed is prone to eating their young.

You have her in a good tank with a lot of plants that's good because she will probably have her babies by tomorrow.

Those are all the signs of labor. She should start having babies very very soon.
