I feed my nem a thawed silver side once a week to try to avoid him eating my live fish.

My green carpet ate about 6 fish in the two or three years that I had it.

Had my yellow tail wrasse take a glancing sting from one of my flower nems. He managed to escape, but went all twitchy and paralytic and within 5 mins was dead. I have 6 rock nems, but only had the one problem. I think he got spooked into it.

I had a very large carpet and after keeping a flame hawk in isolation in another tank to make sure it was healthy I acclimated it to the main tank only to have him dart to the other end of the tank and right into the carpet. That was only one of several expensive meals the carpet ate over the years.
