It could be the guppy has a case of fin rot. This is a bacterial condition that can be treated with a broad-spectrum antibiotic. See these photos for comparison: http://www.fishpalace.org/Disease.html#Finrot

The color may have faded because it is stressed out from being in a new tank. The tail is shredded because the other fish bit it, but I don't know why they did.

could have been attacked by one of the other ones if its a male i wouldn't be surprised if a female did that to it because it was trying to mate to much if its female 2 of the females could have gotten into a fight

They fight each other biting at the tail of the "whipping boy".
