Answer 1

I really don't know what to say, you really can't do anything. Just keep having great times with your fish.

Glad I could help! =)

Answer 2

Well... unless you literally "squished" her, as in guts coming out, then she should be fine, I did that to my fish all the time (accidentally of course) and they never died from that.

Answer 3

The only thing you can do is give her time to recover.  Keep her tank dark and try not to disturb her, and hopefully she'll come around.  She's probably stressed from the whole ordeal.

And yes, breeding bettas is not something to do on a whim.  Now you see what happens when you don't properly condition your fish, and why so many of us try to discourage people from doing it.
