What kind of filter should you have for an aquarium with baby tetras?

Any baby fish can get sucked into a filter and killed quite easily. While your tetras are very small, it's best to use a sponge filter. This is basically a piece of fine aquarium sponge that is attached to an air pump and the rising air bubbles draw water through the sponge. It will not hurt your fry, you may even see them 'grazing' on tiny bits of food that get stuck to the sponge. The drawback of sponge filters is that they are not particularly powerful, and will not cope with a heavy bioload - don't overstock a tank that's running on a sponge filter.
When your fry get a bit bigger, switch them over to whatever kind of filtration you normally use, but cover the inlet with some pantyhose. This is a cheap and easy way to stop fry being sucked into a filter.
