My bigger tank had some water perimeter problems I believe, still unidentifiable. So, I moved the weakest fish (make guppy) to a different bowl with some older baby guppies. He keeps resting on the bottom of the tank, looking as if he’s dead. However, I can see his gills are moving and he moves rarely or if you try to interact with him. Here is a picture, any ideas? For more info, check my other threads to have a glimpse of what exactly is going on.

P.S the brown spots are appart of his pattern and has always been there. He has, however, lost a significant amount of colour.

Move him to a bowl without the babies and do a large water change for the babies, If you want to keep the fry he shouldn't be in there, fry are sensitive to disease and catch them easily
 
Its possible but it would be best to quarantine him.
 
Make sure that he has an air stone to get enough oxygen, if he is having trouble breathing
 
I'm not sure. Could be TB? I had a case with that a while ago. What are your water test results?
 
Place it in a container alone. A jar will even do. It sounds like he’s not going to make it. If you have a 1 gallon container, you can add 1/4 tablespoon of aquarium salt to help him. It stimulates gill function and reduces stress. Be sure to dissolve it before adding it or it will sting the fish.
