white patch at end of body

Hi Bros/Sis,good morning.....I got this Pearl Aro just abt a week.It is abt 12inch big.when first came,I placed in a 3ft holding ank by himself.he was healthy and eat 1 SW.On the 2nd day,I transferred him to a bigger 6 ft tank..that tank has many bottom dwellers,like endies,ornates,bichirs and also abt 5 EEs.here it behave very strangely,swimming erratically and also at 90% with the tank walls.Thinking tha perhaps the big endies and ornates were stressing him,I remove him back to the 3 ft holding tank.The next day,we had a fgt (5x3x3).after filling up and recycling it for 2 days,we put a bag of feeders in to test and a day later put the Perl aro in.it seem fine and we had subsequently added 2 FFs,RTC,KM,2pairs of TFB and yesterday a 14inch RTG and a 12 inch Green.The Pear Aro does not seem unusually disturbed by these tankmates..however this morning,it look lethargic,not swimming and at the end of its body near the tail,a patch of white is noticed.it is probably like 1 or 2 cm and like when we fell,our knee scratched against the floor and become sore there. I did not noticed any fights .the other 2 aros and fishes all are doing OK.what shud I do with that Pearl Aro?

possible is due to stress to ur pearl when transfer here and there. low immune then kana attack by fin rot??? every fish immune system diff so cant really compare why other fish is fine. seperate the pearl out and monitor him. keep the water clean and add some medication
