Any kind of fungus on a fishes fins indicates either physical damage or poor environmental conditions. The first thing I would do is replace the fishes water making sure the temperature is the same as the water being replaced to avoid temperature shock I would also add 1 level teaspoonfull of cooking salt per gal. to the replacement water. I would perform regular 50% water changes daily for about 2 weeks adding the required amount of salt each time. When the fungus has gone and the fish is well again I would stop adding the salt to the water but I'd continue with at least a 50% waterchange weekly.

What is unique about the guppy?

Their tails. Guppies have amazing tails. The males have bigger and brighter tails whereas the females have smaller and less bright tails. You can get all types of guppy babies. The best thing is you can mix and match the guppys too. If you have a leopard guppy and an orange guppy and they breed, the babies tail looks like an explosion of yellow and orange in a leopard tail.


Your Guppy Fish is losing his tail you put him in a separate tank with no fish should you do anything else?

Yes, make sure the water is changed regularly. The tail will grow back but will never be as good as the original one. There will be a reason the guppy has been loosing its tail. If the problem is fungus then you need to fix the bad water problem that is causing the fungus by changing the water regularly. If the problem is fin nipping by other occupants then you will need to separate the fin nipper(s).
