Why isn't the phrase: "Nanika atta" Nani atta ka?

Why isn't the word ka at the end of the sentence? I know typically ka is at the end to form a question, so if you can explain why it isn't in this case that would be a great help. Also, if you could give me words to answer the phrase such as: Good, alright, and bad. Please answer those in Ranji please.

    もう何か食べました。

    did you eat something already?

    何か食べましたか。

    did not understand part 2 of your question, sry.
