Have you tested your water?
No
If I did not test my water...
  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.
Do you do water changes?
Yes
What percentage of water do you change?
81-90%
How frequently do you change your water?
Every week
If I do not change my water...
  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.
While doing a water change, a jet of water hit my Tetra. He got slammed against a plastic decoration. The jet came from my hose, which was kinked, and I was unknoting it slowly like usual, but this time, I wasn't ready. He looks fine. He fell to the sand, and a millisecond later, he got up and went to the other Tetras. No scrapes, nothing.

edit: The water was 81f, just like the tank.

Should be fine. Fish can handle a great deal of abuse.
 
It'll be fine, unless you hit it with a temporary dose of massively chlorinated water, in which case, it'll also be fine.
