I isolated the betta in a floating isolation tank that he jumped from to attack. So I put a lid on it the next night - following morning the floating tank was at the bottom of the tank with him still inside it...
had to physically separate them into two tanks. When two fish don't get on, shit they don't get on!

I was sure I had heard before that male gouramis don't get along with each other, but when I bought them they were all males in the store. I asked if two were ok together and the guy in the store said yes ... they have been fine so far luckily. As far as bettas, I've stopped putting them in my fish tanks because sometimes you get small fish that like to nip and will tear at the betta's fins, plus I would hate to find out the hard way like you did that any of the fish I have are too similar to a betta in the betta's eyes!
