Up until a week ago we fed the fish 2-3 times a day. Then I switched to 1 time per day. If it were overfeeding, would it only strike the guppies? And would it start after we reduced the feeding?

I'm not sure what the LFS parameters are. We got them two weeks ago at a PetSmart, an hour away. We kept them separated in a "new fish" tank for 7 days before introducing them into the main tank.

I was reading another site about disease and the first one listed is fin rot. The symptoms listed for fin rot on this site include Rotting fins, loss of appetite, sluggish movements and laying on the tank bottom.
I'm not exactly sure what is meant by "rotting fins" but I noticed on that one that I posted a video of, part of his tail fin seemed to be gone, perhaps rotted. Before I quarantined him into the small plastic tank, he was swimming sluggishly along the bottom of the aquarium, and after he was in the plastic tank he clearly can be seen swimming on the bottom. Could this be what it was?
P.S. When I got home from class last night, he was dead.
