Put in in by itself, and if the fins are not to tore up they will grow back, if they are to far gone the fish may get a fungus and die, whatever the fish should be removed from the tank isolated and allowed to heal or die.

Unless seroius your beta fish should look completely normal again in a few days. they heal at an exceptionally fast rate

depending on the cause and size of the injury it should be able to grow back i would recommend you talk to the fish expert at your local pet store don't go to Walmart or a big chain store go to your mom and pop store.

Salt (sodium chloride) added to the water at the rate of two teaspoons per gallon will help prevent any fungal growth on any torn fins or scales. 'Melafix' is also suitable for treating Bettas with torn fins and scales.
