WOW you are lucky to have those at your LFS! I have never heard of them, but I did some research, and, like the columbian/blue-red tetra, it goes by many names. The fish in the picture (inpaichthys kerri) goes by the names:
Purple emperor tetra
Blue emperor tetra
Super blue kerri tetra
Emperor kerri tetra
Blue kerri tetra
Kerri tetra

Apparently, they are pretty rare, and very beautiful!
I don't think they are related to the emperor tetra, but they look like the blue Glofish of emperor tetras (if there was one). I would buy some, they look cool!

They don't look much like what you have in the picture though!
Is your LFS reliable, 'cause maybe they got the fish name wrong?!

Could it be some type of rainbow?

Has the body of a Rasbora honestly. Although it looks like a dyed Ember Tetra

I highly doubt that cause its so same but I don't know much about rainbows but their pretty small to be a type
