Some Bettas have been selectively bred to have holes and threads in their fins. If your Betta does not normally have these and they are suddenly happening to the fish then The fins are being destroyed by poisons in the water. You urgently need to change its water ASAP.

∙ 14y agoWhen a Betta "displays" his fins they do appear somewhat transparent, but if there is a noticeable difference between what its fins did look like when you got him and how they look now, then there is obviously an environmental problem. If I tell you what a Betta needs, maybe you can see where you are messing up. The absolute minimum amount of water for a Betta is 3 gallons, best is 10 gallons. (The people who advocate and sell tiny containers for Bettas should be locked up for cruelty to animals). It also needs a heater set at around 78F and a cycled filter running permanently. It also needs to have half its water changed every week. Food wise they should be fed at least morning and evening as much as they can eat in 15 minutes and a treat of live food is good at least once a week but not essential. If you follow the above you should have no problems keeping a Betta healthy.
