Make sure your using the right conditioner what kind of Betta is it? I had a betta and im treating him with Betta fix hes improving, It would help to get filter and if your fish has fin rot move into an area where there isn't many plants and treat him until you see his fins stop deteriorating and color returns to the fins if it is bad enough, also sometimes it isn't good to change the water too much, i find because it's like when you wash your hands to much you wont b as amune to disease if you are too clean, and your hands get dry. Just from personal experience

You need to keep the water very clean, it may be an infection. I have saltwater fish so I am not sure but I think you can dip them in a light Epsom salt solution.
look it up on http://www.wetwebmedia.com
That's the best site on the net for all types of fish problems, and you can send them an email if you can't find the answer there..

water changes and non iodized rock salt about 3 teaspoons per gallon for a few weeks. Nothing works over night.
