[AquaticLife] Fancy Guppy Tank

 

Hi everyone. I have a 45 gallon community peaceful tank that has about 6 fancy male guppies along with other companions. Temp 78, 4 month old tank, all tests in normal range, change 10-20% water weekly. Use Water Conditioner, Stress Coat and Stress Xyme. I seem to have a problem keeping the fancy guppies alive. One by one, and only one at a time, they get ill and within days lose their entire tail into strings and then die. It is a fast procedure. I replace it with a new guppy and then another one does the same thing, and so on. I have lost and replaced about 5 or 6. All other fish are fine. What can be happening to my guppies. Are they sensitive to the chemicals or something? I wanted this tank to be mostly guppies but I can't seem to keep them alive. Is it tail rot? Frustrated and need help.

PS, the tank is planted with mostly live plants with an inch subtrate and then gravel on top of that. Water is clear. No smell. Separated a few and tried meds for fin rot but they died on the same schedule as if I hadn't.
