Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Finally found someone in town that grows java moss, so I got a handful of it, some watersprite, and 30lbs of Denver granite ($3.20 from my local landscaping supply store ) and redid the whole 20 gallon. The betta tank got leftovers.
Old 20gal setup

Close up of the granite, female ram
Both rams, female is on the left
When I was topping off the betta tank I put too much water in and Lumi jumped into Aquaman's division while I was at Home Depot. I got lucky and neither fish went for the kill. When I found them Lumi was behaving normally and struting around and Aquaman was hiding under a fake plant.
I think Lumi actually took the most damage, since he's part half-moon or deltatail he got pretty shredded. Being a lyretail actually came in handy for Aquaman, he had a bit of fin ripped off but nothing serious. The ventrails on both are okay and neither are bleeding, so I just dosed them with some Aquasafe to help them repair their slime coats.
