Guppies tail not recovering

[R3dBuLL]

Hi, I have 2 guppies in my 50 gallon tank with torn tails and they are not recovering. These are the surviving feeder guppies which I used them to cycle my new tank in office. They have been like that for more than 1 month and they are eating well and play with other guppies too. I have seen my other guppies getting their tails torn but they recover the next day.

Water parameters are good: No ammonia no nitrite and low nitrate. Water change around 20% weekly.

Is it safe for me to cut of the entire tail and let it regrow? Or is there any methods to recover their tails?
