That one has been singled out as a target by the rest for some reason. The only way to keep them from killing it will be to remove it from the tank.

the thing is since it is the biggest...the other tiger barbs have ganged up on that one and are stressing the fish out.... not letting it rest nor swim in peace...
the fish is probably stressed out...to stop this take the fish out and put into a different tank where the fish will not be so stressed.... then reintroduce him to the orginal tank in a week or so....

Tiger Barbs are very aggressive fish. That one is probably the weakest. So the others are picking on it.
