Fin rot can be a fatal disease if you do not attempt to cure it before it gets too bad. Unfortunately, I know this from experience, as my own betta died from fin rot. First, you should watch for the symptoms. If your fish's fins are unnaturally ragged and are turning some shade of white, then you can be pretty sure that your fish has fin rot. Once you have identified the sickness itself, you should immediately separate the fish from any other fish and place it in a quarantine tank. In this tank, I would recommend using some aquarium salt and then using antibiotics. There's one called Melaflex or Melafix or something along the lines of that that works quite well. However, remember that prevention is the best cure, so try to provide the best water quality possible for your fish in order for it to avoid the disease altogether. Also, fin rot can be caused by other fish nipping on the infected fish's fins, and once they do, the fin rot will be able to develop. In my case, this was what happened-my angelfish constantly bit the betta's fins off and caused fin rot to develop. Good luck with treating your sick fish, and try to catch the disease before it develops too much!
