How to look after this tetra?

[MrBichir]

I purchased this fish/ tetra from a lfs and I have no clue what it is as there was not a name tags on the tank. So then I ask the fish shop owner what it is and he has no clue but he said he would give them all to me for a reasonable price. So does want one know what fish it is and if they do could you please tell me the specific requirements for this fish. I am currently keeping them in a South American tank but I really want to set up a nes tank for them and possibly breed them. Thank for all your help!! ?

Blue/ Red Columbian Tetras. I have several in a community tank and they are pretty hardy, though they've never bred for me so I'm not sure what to do to get them to do that
