The most common disease afflicting the fins of betta fish is fin rot. This is when bacteria that are found in essentially every aquarium become too numerous and begin to attack the fish within the water. If you have some pictures of the fish, it would be very helpful in determining if this is exactly what is going on. The most important thing to do at this time is getting Chum out of that tank for now and getting the aquarium cleaned, as well as the right temperature. I am going to give you a link to a website on fin rot, and what you can do in order to fix the problem. The information is very good. http://bettasplendid.weebly.com/fin-rot-101.html
