My guppy had only 6 fry, then she stopped dropping, it's been 6 hours now since the last drop, does it mean that she's done giving birth? if so why is she still quite big?

small guppies will drop less fry than big ones too. Or maybe some got munched...

turn the lights off and stop watching her.
she'll probably shrink back down to normal size before too much longer 8)

It also didn't drop during the night, and the gravid spot is pinkish. Does that mean she's done giving birth?

My lighter colored guppies have a dark gravid spot at all times, even right after giving birth. It gets smaller (along with the size of the tummy) but it's still always dark.
