Fin Nipping?

Hey y'all!
Well I looked in my tank yesterday morning and noticed one of my guppies had a piece of its tail missing. Its a 10G tank with 5 guppies and 1 Cory Catfish. Is it possible one of the other fish bit the chunk of fin off? Its a little sad because now the guppy is hiding in the fake plants and doesn't seem to want to eat. What can I do to help this guy out?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Redox600
Tho I have never had guppies, I have heard over time that they can be little scrappers with each other and fin nips are not unusual. I doubt very much that your cory cat is the culprit.
I guess if you had a small QT, you can transfer the little one there so it can heal without any more aggression from others?

There might be some pecking order thing going on with them. How many males & females are your gups?

I have all males I believe. Is having all males (5 of them) an issue?
