Instead of taking an organizational approach to combating dyed/painted fish, take a personal proactive approach. For example, one of my favorite LFS near an old residence started stocking fish of such a caliber. I took offense, and explained to the manager (who knew who I was, having been a customer for some time) my extreme displeasure at their choice to stock said fish. On my next visit, the fish were still being sold. This time, I told the very same manager (who looked awful sheepish, obviously having done his own research) that if I came back once more and the fish were still in stock, I would permanently remove my business from their shop, and tell EVERYONE I knew in the hobby to avoid their business.
One week later, nary a dyed fish in their tanks.
now were they keep ordering them or just never sold the 1st batch they got in.....
