New walmart rescue with I think fin rot? help?

[SpeakNow13]

I went to walmart to buy a christmas present and of course can never not look at the bettas. I saw this poor little guy who was labeled as a female but i think it is a male who's fins are just gone so you cant tell :( what do you think? I hope I can fix the little critter!!!

Hmmm...the size, shape, and length of the dorsal and anal fin look more appropriate for a female. Also, the caudal fin is rounded on the edges, making me think that it originally was not much longer than it is now. Perhaps check for an ovipositor - I think I can see one in the picture, but it is a bit too fuzzy for me to tell for sure.

Anyway, this is one lucky fish! Hopefully you can get the fin issue sorted out without any problems :)
