Ruby sharks have similar personalities to Red tailed black sharks (RTBS). My RTBS went into a tank with African cichlids as it was agressive in my community tank and even killed an angelfish or 2. Personally I'd say no, but it also depends on the fish's personality. It may be ok, it may not. But eventually (in my experience) when they get older they get more agressive.

Also, there are numerous factors to consider. When you say small tetras, wha exactly do you refer to? As small as neon tetras? Or bigger such as congo tetras, or even the size of black skirt tetras. Also it depends on the tank size.
