Good luck, not sure if I'd move him anywhere if he's doing fine with the intakes at the moment. That may only stress him more. Really hope he does better.

If you already moved him then that's fine. Keep a close eye, but there is really nothing you can do at this point.

Oh I didn't know he had tetras. I dont think they would bother him much.. And uhhh what's the pop bottle trick haha?

riipped tail fin

If he's laying down at all that's not a good sign. I'd give him about 12 hours, make him as comfy as possible. Some individual fish are more hardy than others so maybe he'll make it. I highly doubt it. Sorry.

make matters worse i have 1 and a third anacharis sprigs left they get shreded in the struggle

I've had fish survive some mishaps. I'm cautiously optimistic

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

im an eternaiil pessimist sadly

I would keep him in the box for a couple days. If you have a chance, try to get to your LFS and pick up some melafex. It's only maybe $5 for a bottle, it will really help with the ripped fins, I had a betta with terrible finrot and his fins perked up within a couple of days.
Be sure to read the instructions carefully! But I think your tetras will be ok with the melafex too, it's all natural stuff.
I know being 14 without cash is hard! I remember those days... sigh.

Anyways, I really hope he gets better. I just recently had a scare with my oldest betta... I thought he was dead a couple of times and was getting ready to euthanize him... but thankfully I gave him sometime and the next day he was perked up!!! He is almost back to normal, so don't worry... your fish my surprise you!
