Worms?:ermm: Is that something that the other fish would get? What do you do for those?

So I've got a new tank that has been set up about 2 weeks now. I've learned the hard way about cycling, so I've been doing water changes every other day. I've had this yellow cobra guppy a bit over a week now and it's tail is beginning to shred. The fish seems to be losing it's color and it's...
