It's been 3 days since I got them, and 2 of them are actively swimming and eating. One of them however still hasn't eaten, apears weak, and doesn't even go up to get food. I tried catching it with a net and feed it there so the others don't come grab it, but still no luck. What should I do?

Ditto to jdecorse25, remove the fish to another tank or return it to the shop. It sounds as if that fish is sick and you don't want a sick fish dying in the tank if at all possible.

Danio's are usually pretty hardy fish so chances are it's likely unwell.
If you are able to return it to the fish store, you might want to consider that.
Also, are they in an established tank or are you using them to cycle your tank?
You might want to test your water to make sure everything is in line. If anything is off, it would make it harder on the Danio.
Good luck!

I would remove the one and place it in a holding tank. It's sick and it might be stressed out. if it is sick you want to remove it so it doesn't get the rest of the tank sick as well. maybe, when it's by itself, it will be able to rest up and get better.

that fish doesn't sound healthy. does it have anything growing on it that shouldn't be there. this kind of fish is very active and supposed to be fairly steardy. maybe your pet store will trade for a healthier one.
