Hello. My guppy sustained a bad tail injury during cleaning last week and I have been keeping close eye on him since for fin rot. It appears he may have a little but it is bright red. Is this something worse than fin rot? I have not seen red on torn fins before.
Any chance of a picture of said guppy?
Maybe it could be Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) or 'red spot disease'?
I wouldn’t know though, without seeing a picture.

What are your water parameters? Finrot is not red.
The tank is usually stable. I will check water this evening when the kids are asleep, they think the test kit is a toy

How long did you have the guppy or the tank? Did you cycle it?
The guppy has been in the tank for 5 months, it was cycled when I added him.

For how long did you cycle the tank? Cycling can take up to a month or more.
Hat are your exact water parameters? What type of test kit do you have?

People keep asking for the parameters, while that is helpful we need the water quality, not the parameters

Could be something else. I had a disease, I think it was columnaris that melted all of the tails off of my fish. in 48 hours my whole tank was dead except a few
