My pregnant guppy didn't eat today and she is now swimming up and down the tank. I was wondering how much longer now until she gives birth?

When you say very soon, what i really want to know is are we talking a few hours or several days?

it can be a matter of hours but it can also be a matter of a couple of days to 5 days,
Check out the following link, it will show you a guppy which is only a couple of hours away from birth, also notice the squarely appearance beneath the head, which is also a sign from giving birth very shorthly

they should begin to give birth between 2-5days, the brood can be no more than 10 but it has been known for guppies to give birth to 50 - 100 fry.

If her gravid spot is very large and dark, her stomach looks square and she is looking for places to hide in the tank, she will have them very soon.
