You will definately be able to tell the fry from bubbles in the tank. They will be swimming within a few minutes of birth and will be complete with fins, tail and big ol' black eyes. Very cute to see.
And yeah, when she is ready to drop she will look like she is going to explode! Look at her from the top and her belly will look kinda squarish.

And as darkfalz said...she don't need a male to do this again and again and again....she can store the sperm from one mating for up to six months without a male in the tank. So don't be surprised if she blesses you with several more broods in the months to come.
