Not a very good photo but over the last couple of days his fins have become very ragged, with no obvious signs of fin rot. He's now on the bottom not doing a great deal. He's about 2 and a bit years old.
Any ideas or would it be best to send him to the big aquarium in the sky?

I would imagine if he’s hiding away he might be getting nipped, but at a bit over 2 years old he’s probably nearing the end
guppies dont have long life spans and old age does seem to catch up to them fairly quickly. Is he still eating?

2+ years nowadays is quite long for shop-bought, mine don't live that long and they've all been raised in the tank now, haven't input a new gene pool for about 15 years now though.
