If the fin was damaged and down to his main body it will never grow back. After a year it really sounds like the damage is permanent

lost of fins can lead to scarring which is probably what happen to your fish and usually normal tail rips from fighting the fish can grow back in a couple weeks if you are lucky, were all its fins almost toatlly gone if so that is bad. Try mixing some salt in the fishes water they can have a very small amount in their water since they sometimes live in estuary habits. the salt kills bacteria and helps the fish heal I use it for any problems with my bettas, and sometimes even if they get minor tail rot, BETTAFIX also works okay

i won't be able to tell from that photograph no remember in the adventure that your Betta is laid low with fin rot or no longer. At any cost, fin rot is maximum normally led to with the help of stress and adverse water high quality, the two one in all that have been probable present day in his transport journey. i do no longer choose to apply drugs till they're relatively mandatory. If I have been you, i could develop his temperature as much as approximately 80 two tiers, save his water sparkling, and save a watch on his fins. in case you notice further deterioration, in line with risk drugs is so as. so a great way as i've got heard, waterlife myxazin is risk-free for use on Bettas. (it is going to additionally turn your water blue...) i'm questioning it won't be able to be used with shrimp. i'm uncertain approximately snails. i could examine before dosing. stable success.

If it hasn't regrown in a years time it won't. The base of the fin was probably damaged by the bacteria.
If he is in an unfiltered bowl you should change his water every 2-3 days and feed him daily in any event.

i'm not sure about the fin, but the fish needs to be fed 2 to 3 times a day with a few pellets.
