I have 2 Colored Harld Schultz Tetras and I plan on getting more but they don't really move. They just float there and will only move to eat or get out of the other fishes way. Is this normal?

I am sure that this is not normal because:

1. they may not be settled into your tank yet(you got em today)
2. the tank is not cycled-shocked/poisoned from that

Happy birthday Me is already in use!]]] On a more serious note, I really don't think you acclimated your fish properly or at all, either that or your tank hasn't been cycled yet. Also, tetras should be kept in schools of at least six, and preferably more. The fish are probably stressed out, as well as sick.
