Hey ppl, my female betta got into a fight with my either male or female 3 dot gourami and now her eye looks like it is popping out. I have since removed her and started using "bettafix".
Is there anything else I can use?

I can not give advice on the injury but i will advise you not to keep a male Betta with a female one (or the Gourami), it will end in death eventually.
 
I've had these fish together for a little over a year. Madusa (betta) has always been a picker but not towards my Gourami's. I now know it was my male (phantom) that did this, he ended up killing his mate

Update: medusa has survived her ordeal but at a cost, she is now blind in her left eye :(
 
Glad she is feeling better. It is always sad to see an impaired fish but don't worry, she should still be able to live a pretty good life once she adapts properly.
