PLEASE HELP ME I NEED TO KNOW THIS!!!!! i moved my betta into the tank and would LOVE to know how each fish will react!

well, since you don't seem to want to wait for someone with good advice, i will tell you my opinion...
i have never had the fish that you described, but i think it is a general no-no to put bettas with tetras, as they tend to be nippy.
depending on how many of each of these tetra that you have, your tank is probably fully stocked without the betta! especially with a common plec. i am guessing that you have already been told he will get too big for a 10 gal, as you mentioned he was a juvie!
hope that helps

Bettas can only be kept with short finned, dull colored community fish, and it really depends on the betta.

EDIT: neons are a no no. they are very nippy. It's best to leave a betta by themselves.

is a head and tail light a tetra?

you're welcome. There are a lot of success stories about people who keep bettas with a ton of different things, but if you think of it this way, it isn't natural. It is good you are taking our advice though, it shows you care for your betta.
