Hmmm..Where is the tank located? What lighting system do you have? What decorations do you use? If your tank is situated in heavy traffic area, then the pacu is obviously frightened. I'd add plenty of cover for him (preferably plastic plants) and keep the lighting subdued. Keep your movements as minimal as possible.
What are your water parameters? Please post the exact water parameters and test kit used. How big is the tank he is in? What do you feed him?

well i already moved him back to the other tank. hopefully his tank mates wont bother him. the reason i moved him out in the first place was cause of an ich outbreak. his fins were getting eaten off by all his tank mates he should be fine now im guessing he seems happy and no one is picking on him
Lupin the 3rd is correct, more info is really needed. Tank size is my first guess.. second would be he has internal issues (parasite fungus..etc). How did you treat for the ich? Please be specific.. ie how often, how long, what medicine. FYI Salt is the best for dealing with ich. Kosher, rock, softner, pond.. not table. 2 lbs per 100 gallons, being sure to only replace what you take out during water changes.
Neither is Rich-Ich plus salt plus heat. Use heat & salt (preferably) or meds in the future, not all 3. Or better yet-quarantine
