First, with live bearers, the mother usually waits for a time when the tank is quieter- after you've turned the light off at night. I didn't know this until recently - got some advice from the place where I buy my fish.
How do you know when the female is about to give birth? Watch her size - I think the gestation period is about 6 weeks.
Good luck!

generally, if your livebearer is having babies you will see one or two swimming at the bottom or top of your tank.
