melafix or pimafix for the wound, sorry but i forgot which one does what. the knife ate your endler, no doubt. depending on how serious the bite is it could be different things. rock scrape, barb bite. eel and knife probably arent the culprits, but you can never really know. at night, when the lights are off, turn on a small light, and watch your knife and eel come out. just watch their behavior. i learn 90% of the info on my tanks from just watching them. a little less than half of that time is watching them at night.

its hard to watch the knife cuz he always knows if your watching, and he gets scared easily... all i ever see him do is come out, swim for a second, get scared and swim back to hiding. repeats alot. and the eels always out and all he does is swim up and down the sides like hes trying to get his reflection...maybe someday...
