fish especially tetras need shade and lots of hiding places. They come from South American Jungle stearms where there is plenty of shade. After all,in nature everything is trying to eat them 
I would add some floating plants like anacharis or water sprite which you can plant in the gravel if you like and some ferns like Java and crested ferns. Here is a picture of my 55 gallon tetra tank, the floating plants are anacharis.
