I've seen this a lot with collected fish and tropicals that came from
shady fish stores. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of parasite and salt
dips have worked for me.

Nitrites can also cause fish to scratch like this btw.

White suckers are awesome in an aquarium. They are very active,
constantly looking for food. The downside is how big they get.
