Congratulations!!!!
Domestic Tetras are a lot hardier then wild, depending on the conditions that they them selves were breed in.
I have had black neons spawn in worse then that. The gH has a lot to do with it.
The fry are so tiny that's the hard part....feeding them. You need micro worms or infusoria then move up to Baby Brine.
What ever your doing keep it up.
