Aw Im sorry to hear that.
However, I suggest you go out and get a 5g tank. A 2.5g tank may be fine for one betta, but split in two, thats only 1.25g per. Contrary to popular belief, they do like to swim around a decent amount. A standard 5g tank is something like 6-7$ around here...course you'd need the rest of the stuff, but those minibows are a bit of a rip off, IMO. Get a few plants and stick them in front of the divider. Out of sight is out of mind to these little guys. If you want to make certain that the divider wont do that again, you can silicone the edges to the tank on the sides and bottom. Get a tight fitting lid because some will not hesitate to jump over the divider.
Good luck and hope they're okay. I'd treat with some melafix or antibiotics...
