What kind of tetras?
In all honesty, Im fairly certain they ALL will lol! I have neons and black skirts and they both love brine shrimp&bloodworms!!

Yes, they will eat them. I have diamond tetras and neon tetras and both love bloodworms. I have also fed them ground up salad shrimp (which they enjoyed, too) but I haven't tried brine shrimp with them.

Try to stop them.

They are ominvous and they awill pretty much eat anything if it fit in their mouth. I pretty much share all the food I eat with them. I sometime drop any meat I eat. Shred of chicken, scrap of beef, bits of shrimp, boiled green pea, crumb of the bread. Oh they like yolk from the hard boiled eggs, adults or frys. You can almost try anything just don't feed same thing all the time. And no seasoning on their meat or seafood. And try little amount first and see how they like it first. So there are not much leftover that foul water.
I even tried little bit of banana and my Tetras and Corys cleaned up. Now I am start trying the human baby pastely food. Like squarsh, sweet potato. Since someone mentioned that some famous Tetra breeder feedthe "butter nut squarsh."
Of course I feed usual fish food like flakes, pellets and live culture most of the time.
So I guess, just like us. They seem they enjoy the variation but the moderation is the key IMO.

Like the other replies, I have found that mine will eat pretty much anything. I have neon tetra, cardinal tetra and black tetra and they all like a variety of food.

I tend to give them a variety of flake, frozen bloodworm, live bloodworm, frozen brine shrimp, peas, lettuce etc etc etc..

hehe this topic reminds me of my black neons eating bloodworm, they'renot yet fully grown so chewing a bloodworm takes a while - they look like they're going scuba diving for a few minutes after feeding
