Hello!! About two weeks ago I purchased 2 tiger barbs and 3 green barbs from petsmart. One of the green barbs died the other day and now i notice that the other two have patches of white color on their skin. It started on their nose and now it is in different places; their tail, sides, etc. The large tiger barb also has it. It's not ich for sure, its not puffy, it looks kind of like their color has just rubbed off in places. I did a liquid ammonia test and it was 0. My PH is fine too. I'm wondering if it's because the barbs are getting rough with each other, maybe establishing ranking b.c they're in a new tank? I might be paranoid but I've had massive problems with new fish infections in my tank before so I want to make sure I don't infect my entire tank 
Here are my tank stats to help:
55 gallon
78 degrees
3 angels
1 sm. eclipse catfish
1 pictus catfish
3 cory cats
1 high fin pleco
2 algae eaters
4 tiger barbs
2 green barbs
When I purchase new fish, i treat with stress coat and stress zyme. I also did a partial water change and vacuumed my gravel. my tank is always very clean. any insight and help would be appreciated! Thanks!
