There are two kinds of 'albino' catfish commonly seen in aquariums.

Seriously, though, some cichlids don't like to eat guppies for whatever reason. They don't NEED to eat live fish, and a lot of fish experts say not to feed live fish. So...if it won't eat guppies but it will eat chopped beef heart, earthworms, cichlid pellets or whatever else you're feeding him, I would just not put any more guppies in there.
Fish are not humans and do not get "depressed" as humans do. The problem you have is most likely the fact that your water is in bad condition because you are not following the basic rules of fishkeeping. Ammonia in the water is probably what killed the female guppy and the male is most likely very sick and if something is not done soon will join her in death too. My advice is first do a water change then learn and follow the rules. The rules are. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Keep the above rules and your fish stand a chance. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish.

Can white cloud fish and guppies be kept together?
Other fish with guppies it absolutely fine but some fish can get jealous. Well guppies like to show off their tail and sort of brag about it. So the other fish depending how aggressive it is, it may nibble of part of it's tail. And usually it won't grow back the same. Lot's of people wonder if goldfish will eat their guppies. Gold fish could eat guppies if they grow enough. Like if you get a fancy gold fish and it grows big then possibly. The size that goldfish grow depends on how much room they have. Like if a goldfish lived in a 50 gallon tank then it would most likely grow much larger. But if it was in a little bowl it probably won't grow as much. So most likely it won't but anything can happen. So pretty much it depends on what size tank you have. Well anyway you could usually have guppies with other fish. Just so you know Goldfish can't live with guppies because of their different water temperature requirements. Guppies can only live with other Tropical Freshwater Fish.
