Have you introduced other fish to the tank?
Are you overstocked?
If the tank is too small for all of the fish the residents will start competing for space- and squabbles will break out.
The one being bullied isn't showing signs of illness or disease is it? If it is that could be a reason too- the other is seeing it's weakness and trying to finish it off, survival of the fittest etc etc.
