yea i got a fish, its a tetra and what are some good ways of taking care of it?

First of all you should never just have one tetra, they are schooler fish and need to be in at least groups of 6 or more.Tetras are tropical fresh water fish and need a temperature of aruond 75°F. Tetras can eat flake food, but to keep them happy, supplement with brine shrimp or blood worms on occasion (mine especally love the ebrine shrimp)Ally

[Tortoise or Turtle?]

you have got to have a tank with a filter and hooded light is good. Food of course, the basics you can got to the pet store ask them, they sure get you squared away with your fish needs.

Tetra means four, so you should have them in groups of at least four. You should have at least a ten gallon, but a five gallon might work if you pay very close attention. Thats only for small tetras, rummynoses and such need larger tanks. You will want to cycle the tank, moniter water params(with a liquid test kit) and do weekly water changes of about 25 percent. You will want to rinse the filter in the old tank water every week also, but do not rinse it hard this will get rid of the good bacteria.
