Someones Eating My Guppys Tail

[BettaBum873]

ok, I have a 20g tank with 4 fancy guppies (1m, 3f) 3 platies (all female) 3 albino cories, 3 ottos, and 1 dwarf gourami. Now over the past couple weeks since i got the guppies I've noticed that my males tail is being eaten away. There's no sign of fin rot, but now he only has 1/2 of a tail. At first I thought it was the gourami doing it, but the girls (who have nice long tail, they're some kind of delta guppies) have no nips at all in their tails. Could the girls be ganging up on the male, or could it be the gourami? Should I isolate the male so his tail can have a chance to grow back? Thank you!

most likely the Gourami. I caught mine at an act pulling out one of my white cloud minnow's eye out. sadly the fish died and he got booted out of the tank.
