Jag upside down

My male jag started to beat on the female jag a few days ago because he wanted to breed. It was mostly some fin nipping and pushing the side of her body with his lips. Yesterday I put a divider in because it needed to stop. She was staying at the top, but was still able to swim across the tank to escape the male.
This morning, she is upside down in the bottom of the tank. She is still breathing, but very slowly. I tried turning her, but she can't stay upright.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

She is probably suffering from a injury brought on by the male(bladder maybe). I normally treat fish that have been beat up with a water change,melafix,salt a lot of cussing and a bunch of prayers. Good luck, I hope she pulls through:D

What Kevin said.

Give her ideal conditions, quiet, some salt and melafix and she might pull through.

thanks for the responses.
I put her in a 29 gallon hospital tank. I moved my ac 70 over to it and put in a sponge filter.
I added three tablespoons of salt and melafix.
I'll keep you posted on what happens but it doesn't look good.
She has big red streaks coming down through her tail and I have no idea why.
She's currently kinda floating around the tank, breathing better, but has no real control on where she's going. She's upside down and then gets rolled over.
