For the shredded fins add some aquarium salt it will keep infection from getting to them. They will grow back.

It would seem that she has sustained an injury hurting her swim bladder. Their swim bladder keeps them balanced in water. But she might just be constipated. Is she pooing normally? If not starve her for a day and then the next day give her a little bit fo the inside of a pea. This is what usually causes swim bladder disorder(SBD). But like I said earlier it may be an injury from jumping or from being with the other betta. If this is the case then there is no way to really fix it. It is painful just annoying for them. BUT you can make it easier for her. Look here: http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/155/ C= I am sure she will be okay. *goodvibes*

Thank you VERY much for the link! I am going to set up a tank for her now.

I'm glad Christmas_Hamster gave you that information... it is pretty much what I was going to say and it saved me all that typing.
Good luck with little miss Erin and good vibes headed her way. Its amazing how much willpower these little fish can have.

lol Chilli.

I had to setup a tank like that for my Bliss as he had SBD aswell. I hope Erin is alright!

Strange... I didn't feed her for just one day and she honestly looks better. Still isn't swimming down as much (haven't set up the SBD tank yet) but isn't staying at the surface anymore. I don't know if it's just me, but it looks like she's straightened out a bit, too!

I hope she continues to improve!

Yep the curved spine is part of the SBD I am glad she is doing better she was probablly just constipated then. C=
