When I first got my female betta she had some damage to her fins, and they were completely healed within a week. Whereas my older male has had damaged fins for over a year and once he was finally distracted from tail biting, it took a couple of months before they grew back. So age probably has a factor, as would how often and for how long the damage has been occurring.
He's going to be a stunner when he recovers! Even if you can't get StressCoat, a good diet and clean warm water will do the trick. I also have a friend who swears by exercising them with a betta mirror.
first off id feed him well, he's fairly thin, the little bugger.
excersise is good too. a few minutes a day with a mirror works wonders.
you can add some stress coat (but VERY little), its actually not as good if used according to bottle. i always add just half of the advised amount...
