Holes likely occur when bettas catch their fins on sharp decor whether it's ornaments, plastic plants or hardscape. Remove anything sharp and change the water frequently to heal the tears

i have some stone in there but no woods.

i’ll remove the stones. Other than than i only have anubias and vallisneria.

i’ll change 50% of the water daily until he’s better.

thank you very much :)

I had that, but I did have some wood that was quite sharp. I removed the wood very promptly and kept the water extra clean and was amazed at how quickly they repaired.
