How did you acclimate him? Did you remember to leave the lights off? Are you lights still off? (they should be) How long has your tank been set up? What else is in your tank? Are any fish picking on him?
Are you sure your test result are correct? Have the lfs test your water, to be on the safe side.
Mine sometimes hide, then swim around looking for a way out, they will swim up and down and back and forth, then settle down.
