My neon tetra which i just got today looks like he is kinda sickly the end of his tail sags to like a tilt and his fins just are healthy looking. Its not ich i know that. I will try to get a pic if i can. Should i take him out as soon as possible and treat with melafix? His fins were nipped at but i dont think thats the problem. SHould I take him back to the store were i got him from or should i try to help him myself. Any help would be greatly appriaciated.

If you acclimated the poor Neon correctly to your tank water and he looked good in the store tank then consider a return trip to the store for an exchange...

Acclimated the neon fine. I think i bought him that way as i have trouble remebering to check fish before i buy them. It only this neon. All the rest have perfect fins in all?? he was 2bucks so i really dont want to lose him considering i bought like 10. I think i might ask them for an exchange or something cause i dont want him to mess up my tank.
