What size tank is he in? Does he have any tankmates?
How often do you clean your water?
If the tank is being enough and not overcrowded, and if the water is clean (you should be replacing 20-40% of the water every week - using dechlorinator, of course) then he may just be bored. Try getting him 2 or 3 females.

Test your water! Is he clenching his fins to his body? That seems to be a swordtail's way of saying, "I don't feel good". Is he still eating?

Buy him a girl and see if that perks him up. I would also treat for disease just in case.
Or it could be his time to go depending on how old he is!
