I think everyone makes good points here. I think most or all people are cruel by nature in that we impact every living thing in a bad way...maybe we are too smart (or dumb) for our own good.

I think it's not really luck, but you giving them excellent care that has done the trick. I do believe that the survivors can be given a '2nd chance' at a normal life with really good care. Not a lot of them get that though, but your tetras were lucky you picked them up.

..and when we don't know better, nobody can say anything bad about buying them. We probably would have too, if we'd had the option, before we knew about that process. I think most people buying dyed fish wouldn't even consider that people would think of dyeing fish.

i hate to see mistreated animals and i dont feel that you are overreacting at all... when i was first getting into the hobby i was the same way when i found out why my "blue" oscar passed away so quickly ... i felt horrible for not knowing.
