The tetras are in a different tank Joe so I can see w/o the plants and other things that can obscure them. And in a area with better lighting.
Yes I agree with you, the big box stores only care about the bottom line but I have been checking the tanks at this store for quite a while before I decided to purchase. I had no seen any problems.

You should really scrutinize the fish for awhile in the store to be sure there aren't any problems. Like this ich. I am sure you would have seen it on the fish in the store.
