White scales behind beard?

Hi all,
my Veiltail recently (overnight) has his regular black scales turn white behind his flaring gills/beard. Does anyone know what this is? Could this be due to stress? I recently put a new filter in, as well as an airater. He's in a 10 gallon with Guppies and Otos. (He isn't fighting with any of them.)

Thanks,
-Josh

If you just put in a new filter, you might be having water quality issues--did you transfer the old filter media to the new filter in order to preserve the bacterial colony?
