Odds are he is just stressed out. If you got him 3 days ago and he has already been in 2 tanks and was being picked on he is most likely stressed. 15gal. aren't exactly comfortable living quarters for a FH. Not to mention if he was moved from a 100gal. that is like moving out of Kobe's mansion into an efficiency 1bed,1bath,1 kitchen all in 1 room apt.
Give him some time, even hold off feeding him for a few days. He will perk up and become relaxed. Fish can go weeks without food just fine so he won't starve. Just take a 
and let your fish do the same. Everything should work out fine. Well, depending on how big the fish is. If it is a 6" fish the 15gal. tank is the reason. Anyway hope this helps. Good luck
