It's evening and i just came into my room with all the lights off and using my phones flashlight to come in, I thought I saw a bug on my bed (its next to my aquarium) but when I looked closer it was my bloodfin tetra. Luckily he/she had just jumped and I was able to quickly put him back. But now I'm worried about this happening again. Was it because of my flashlight? Or something with breeding habits? For precautions I have lowered the water level by a few cm. What should I do?

They are known jumpers, and they jump for all kinds of reasons. Spooked, spawning, just because, they just love to jump. Definitely suggest getting a lid of some kind
You always want a lid on the tank. Lots of fish jump out and water evaporates more quickly, plus harmful substances can get in.
There are lids available for most tank. What’s the size of yours?
