Just so you have the right info on your fish, those "fruit tetras" are actually White skirt tetras and yes they're dyed to attract more buyers. I own 7 of the non dyed tetras(dying is a very cruel process and i dont want to support it, not that im blaming you are ) and find they look just as good.
They are a good tempered fish, I keep guppies and sword tails with them and have kept many other fish with no problems at all. I even have 3 long finned black skirts to add to the group b/c i love 'em so much. They should be in groups of 4 or more b/c they are timid and like to school. Here's my group of guys huddling, lol.

At a LFS they have strawberry and blueberry tetra, are these dyed or a true breed of tetra?

Dyed I'm afraid. You get disco too which are also dyed.
