pictures of the fish from the side?
is the fish doing stringy white poop?
It's very unlikely to be damage from other fish, given the stocking, so can at least rule that out.Ammonia 0

37 gal tank, now 3 (was 7) guppies, 3 corys, 1 pleco.
Small weekly H20 change but will do 50% from now as recommended by Captain Barnicles in a related thread, weekly or twice weekly vacuum.
Is there a way you can isolate the wounded one? Fish will often bully a sickly a weakening fish. Seems cruel but in the wild, a sick fish attracts predators, so the other healthy fish want to drive it away from their area. But no where to escape when in a tank. We also don't want whatever is affecting the yellow fish to spread to the others, and them eating the body or biting at the wound could easily spread some things.AdoraBelle Dearheart: I don’t think so. That one is the healthiest of them, and seems like it’s trying to nip at the yellow one’s wound. Similar poop from the grey one, though, and also a brief view of red protruding from its anus.
Did the red look like a bunch of bristles? Like a ruined paintbrush?and also a brief view of red protruding from its anus.
They are inbred too much. The ones at the store are extremely week and sick nowadays.Where did you buy these Guppies? Don't go there again, what a sickly bunch I've noticed this a lot recently with guppies, just jam packed with parasites
Yup. If I ever get guppies or endlers again, I'll be looking for ones hobbyists have bred themselves, and will still worm them during a longer quarantine.Where did you buy these Guppies?

Best way to go, I had no end of trouble with guppies I've given up on them now. They used to be your go-to hardy fish but heck, if they're not wasting away to nothing they're ballooning up with wormsYup.
