Bent tail on rainbowfish

Hey everyone, 

I just bought this banded rainbow today and it's in my quarantine tank. I didn't notice this at the fish store so I'm wondering if he was injured when I netted him into the tank but his tail is curving upward...

anyone seen anything like this? / should I be worried...

From what I have read it can be caused by a number of things an injury nutritional deficiency or neurological issues from prolonged exposure to poor water quality  it might start get better given good water quality and varied diet I would just monitor for next couple of weeks see if there's any noticeable improvement @Elyse
