For some reason your video won't play.
How many of these tetras do you have? They are a shoaling fish and like to be in groups. I'd have about 8-10 if I were keeping them. if he's on his own he may be panicky in a new tank. OR - he may be excited and exploring his environment - it's not necessarily something to be worried about.
Different tetras won't necessarily shoal together.
I'd invest in a testing kit - not strips, though. Get something like the API one. It's expensive but lasts ages and you can check your tank regularly. It'll save you a lot of money and heartbreak in the long run.
It’s okay, it’s crystal clear - light must have affected the camera making it appear brown
check the water quality for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH.
do a big water change and gravel clean the substrate every day or two for a week.
make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.

Tetra fish are herd fish and therefore need to be beaten in a large group to be calm.
