Apparrently having two african brown knives to a tank did not work out....They have been together for a couple of weeks, but just now noticed some aggressive behavior. Moved the injured knife fish to my other tank, but he is missing part of his front fins. Seems to be getting around fairly well, but am a little concerned.......Will he heal up ok?
 
Just now noticed he is missing part of one of his little nose nub things............I hope he is going to be ok.........

It should heal fine.
Make shure to keep tank clean and add some stress coat to help with the healing (don't add salt) and keep a eye out for infection

FYI knifes get very territorial as they get older towards other members of their own kind.
 
What I found odd is that they are still babies and I just was not expecting the level of violence.......Thanks for the advice on the stress coat....Will add a little more to the tank .
