What is wrong with my swordtail

[GNAAAR]

My swordtail has recently started to stay near the bottom of my tank, and barely eating. He keeps to himself and won't play with the baby mollies anymore. Is something wrong with him?

I had the same with a platy once I put her in qt, and now she is better.

swordtails will fight, maybe its being beaten up by the alpha fishes.

In the tank it is just him and a few younger mollies who mind their own business, my 5 gallon which he's in now is beside my 10 gallon guppy tank that isn't stocked much and he seems to hang around that area where the two tanks face each other. Do you think it would help if I moved home to the other tank since it isn't very stocked?
