its probably stressed in new enviroment. those whitish area looks like scratch marks, probably from the other 2 ... did u see u feeding before taking back?

is your water in tip-top condition ...? might take a few more days for it to adapt in the new place. also, watch if the other 2 still harass it...

Like bro Naser said..... new to environment.... maintain water parameter... new friends and new friends hostile towards his/her presence..... thus got the scratch mark...monitor closely ....till it starts feeding..
