Is my fish hurt?

I got Tippi from Petco yesterday... A beautiful delta male. I've heard lines can be from stress, and he has a line horizontally across him slightly darker than the rest of him, but this could be his spine. [you can kind of see the line on my avatar]

That's not what I am worried about that much though. On where is tail starts, his skin is all red. Same with the top fin. [Dorsal fin?]

Maybe I am being paranoid or overprotective of my fish, but is this normal?

[he is white/peach like most deltas]

It may just be some coloring change, keep an eye on him, if he's young, and as days go on, some red color may be starting to show..if there are any other odd behaviours, like lack of interest in food, or erratic swimming, then I would worry..but for now if he is eating, and swimming ok, then he's fine:)
