My betta fish was attacked by another fish in my aquarium. I have isolated him into a 1 gallon tank [its all i have right now] with gravel and silk plants. I gave him new water treated with aquarium salt. He has damage to his pelvic fins, and his tail has torn in two [like a split] down the middle. Will his pelvic and tail fin heal? Do I need to give him any special medicine? I'm so sad and it upsets me to think of his predicament :(
He wasn't eating for about an hours or so after I found him. Today he is eating and swimming around like normal.
Also, will his tail fin mend into one, or will it stay split and heal like that?
 
Yes, he'll heal. =]

However, it may take a month or two (depending on how bad it is) to completely heal.

Unless it's fin rot, you wouldn't really need medicine.
However, if you want to give him some medicine, use Bettafix. It helps heal torn fins but isn't as strong as Metafix.
