i do believe that today is week 3-4. however it could be longer. but i have been finding fry in my tank with white spots on their backs. not really sure if it is from my socolofi or guppies, but they do not look like normal guppy fry so i am just curious how long she will hold before she releases the eggs/fry?
 
At 4 weeks she would still be guarding and herding fry even if she were releasing them for forage for food. They wouldnt venture far and would all return back to her mouth if she called them. If it is much longer and she doesnt have a buccal bulge anymore (swollen mouth/throat) then its possible. Some more time and patience is required I guess.
