What was it in with? it had to have gotten the crap beat out of it. Illness isn't going to happen that quickly.

that happened to my amarillo after my festae got hold of him id say water change maybe some salt and temp but youve already done the temperature I personally would take the festae out and keep a close eye on him my amarillo came out of it within a couple of days to think I almost euthanized him he looked that bad good luck I hope he pulls through

Looks like it could be an ammonia/chemical burn? The photos really don't help much.

Looks like somthing beat the crap out of it. I can't see the white too good either, but it's either scraped or a fungus is or will be starting to grow as a secondary infection. Add aquarium salt to the tank, and give it some time to recoupe in the hospital tank (leave the lights off in the tank to decrease stress). It could pull through. What else was in the tank with it and what size is the tank?

It's called getting descaled by a tougher fish.

No telling which one did it. Keep a close eye on that tank.
