So they were not moved to save the fry then? A drastic change in water quality (or in this case from one tank to another) could definitely affect fish in unwanted ways. As for the one fish getting slimmer, it might have already dropped fry, or I suppose if it was far enough along.

Platies and swordtails, though both are livebearers, are not the same. Platies do not have the swordtails, and the male swords do.

As for your main tank, how many males/ females do you have? Do yuo have any hiding places for the females? Are you able to provide more hiding places for them?

STESS! that's what happend, platys get stressed very easily and abort there pregnancy over the smallest things like small temp changes to PH and water quality, check the water, was the nitrate level at 0 b4 you put them in?

Maybe I'm just stupid.

But on your profile it says you are.. at least thirty.
Could you try to type with better grammar?
I cannot understand half of what you are saying.
And surely someone of your age can type better than that.
