Fins melting is a form of fin rot and noted above it's due to poor water conditions (especially this melting form). More info would be helpful: http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=49233 I don't want to miss anything.

If the tank is cycled test everything - ammonia, nitrite and nitrate with a drops kit. If it's an uncycled smaller bowl just test ammonia.

Fin melt won't happen in clean water. Really suggest testing the water for ammonia and more info would be helpful: http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=49233

ETA: I took a look through your other threads and see you have also recently battled dropsy and fungus/columnaris.. more opportunistic infections which tend to happen with poor water quality. Really suggest getting your water tested and increasing water changes.

If you bought him with melt, then clean water should clear it up. Ludendorff bit off the melted part after he came back to "life" (he was lethargic for over a month when I bought him).

Just keep him clean and warm for now. Aq salt might help a bit.
